Liliane Jeannine Weldon

Liliane was born and raised in France to the late Georges and Therese Groliere Lemoine. She was also preceded in death by her beloved husband, Lamar Eugene Weldon; her son, Richard Eugene Weldon; great-granddaughter, Brilee J. Weldon; and great-great-grandson, Bowen Weldon-Pritchett.

Liliane met her future husband, Lamar, in the mid-1950s while he was stationed in France serving in the United States Air Force. They married in France and began a life together that would span many years. Liliane was a devoted military wife and a loving mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother.

A woman of Catholic faith, Liliane had a generous heart and spent her life selflessly caring for and serving her family and friends. She had a genuine and gentle soul, and those who knew her remember her for her kindness and loving spirit. She loved animals, and they seemed to love her in return. A homemaker for much of her adult life, Liliane later retired from Shaw Industries.

She especially enjoyed tending her birdfeeders and watching the hummingbirds that visited her home. Above all, her greatest joy was her family. She was lovingly known as Mom, Mommy, Mama, Mawmaw, Grandmama, and Gigi.
