Obituary
Eugene Weldon, 80, of Lincoln,
formerly of Delong, Illinois, passed away peacefully
at 2:00 a.m. on Saturday, October 25, 2025.
Born on November 7, 1944, in Gideon, Missouri.
Eugene was the son of Albert and Nora (Moore)
Weldon. He married Catherine Westfall, on June 6,
1964, in Granite City, Illinois.
Eugene is survived by his wife, Catherine; four
children: Catherine Jean (Randy) Winston of
Williamsville, MO; Michael (Barbara) Weldon of
Veedersburg, IN; Vickie (Jeff) Diedrich and Rebecca
(Mark) Juilfs, both of Lincoln, IL. He is also
survived by his brother Larry Vaughn (Susan) Weldon
of Troy, IL; three sisters: Juanita Thurman of
Galesburg, IL, Ida Mae (Julian) Cordova of Grand
Junction, CO, and Brenda Carole (Jimmy) South of
Lepanto, AR; along with 11 grandchildren and 17
great-grandchildren—with another on the way.
He was preceded in death by his parents, five
brothers, and three sisters.
Eugene was known for his strong work ethic. Over the
years, he farmed in Cameron, IL, owned and operated
Weldon Trucking, and after retiring, worked in the
dietary department at OSF Hospital in Monmouth, IL.

Outside of work, Eugene enjoyed many
hobbies. He loved boating, fishing, hunting with his
son, riding motorcycles and horses, and cheering on
his favorite team, the St. Louis Cardinals. A
lifelong dog lover, he had many loyal pets over the
years. He especially cherished family
gatherings—nothing made him happier than a good fish
fry surrounded by his loved ones. His greatest joy
was always his family, particularly his
grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Visitation will be held on Saturday,
November 1st from 10:00 am to 11:00am at McGuire and
Davies Funeral Home in Monmouth, IL. A graveside
service will follow at Warren County Memorial Park
Cemetery in Monmouth.
Memorials may be made to the Salvation Army in
Eugene’s memory.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Peasley Funeral
Home in Lincoln, IL.
