Gerri, born on April 3rd, 1933, was the oldest daughter of David and Sallie Nettles in Hilliard,
Florida. Soon after her birth, the family relocated to Fernandina Beach and eventually
made their home on South 8th Street.
Gerri attended Fernandina Beach High School where she enjoyed playing basketball and
spending time with friends and family.
After high school, one of her first jobs was as a switchboard operator for Southern Bell in
the Fernandina o ice. While working at a local restaurant, she met & later married Ira
Fleming Haddock of Hilliard/Kings Ferry, Florida in 1951. Years after Ira's death in 1964, she
married JK "Butch" Weaver. Together they raised their three sons – Steve Haddock, Dean
Haddock and Wayne Weaver. Upon Butch's death in 1982, she & her sons relocated to
Eufaula, Alabama. While there she worked as an assembler & o ice personnel at Hughes
Missile Electronics.
In 1996, she moved back to Nassau County where she spent many years as a professional
nanny to several local doctors and as a caregiver to adults as well. Once she finally retired
around the age of 84, she enjoyed spending time outdoors & traveling, always on the
lookout for a red bird, her favorite to see. When at home, she loved doing word search &
Sudoku puzzles, jigsaw puzzles and playing dominos or cards with family. Whenever she
was inside, she always had a puzzle or deck or cards nearby.
