Micah Elaine Reynolds (sic) Charlotte Francis Weldon

     Graveside  services for  Charlotte Francis (Killingsworth) Weldon, 80, were 
held Sat., Apr. 10 at Maple Grove Cemetery in Seminole at 10:30 a.m. She died 
Tues., Apr. 6 in Dallas, Tex.

     Born May 14, 1918 in Seminole, the third of six children to George and 
MaryEtta (Spurr) Killingsworth, pioneers of the town of Seminole, she was 
homecoming queen at Seminole High School in 1935 and graduated a year later. 
After graduating from The University of Oklahoma, she married Vance Weldon, Lt., 
U.S. Navy. She taught school before starting a family. After the arrival of her 
two sons, and with the demands of her husband’s job, she lived in several states 
and Canada. Wherever she lived, she was involved in the garden club and loved 
growing and arranging flowers. After retirement, she and Vance traveled 
extensively, even taking a trip down the Amazon River. In her later years, she 
moved to Tex. to live with her son, Michael. Charlotte’s gift of humor and joy 
of talking helped her to make several friends in Dallas. She found her niche 
during the day at a resident facility. She assisted by showing newcomers around; 
serving on the resident’s council and leading in her special way.

     Preceding her in death was her husband.

     Survivors include two sons, Mike Weldon and wife, Kathleen of Dallas, and 
Barry Weldon on (sic) Vinita; brother, John Killingsworth and wife, Norma Jean 
of Shawnee; sisters, Margaret Burns and George Etta Emerson of Oklahoma City; 
brother-in-law, Paul Weldon and wife, Wanda of Midwest City and many nieces and 
nephews.

     Arrangements were under the direction of Swearingen Funeral Home.
