Marguerite "Margie" (VonAllmen) Wehder

A devout Catholic, Margie was a dedicated parishioner of St. Joe’s on the Hill in Sellersburg, Indiana, for more than 35 years. Her early education began at Loretto grade school, followed by her graduation from Sacred Heart Academy. She later pursued higher education at Barry College for Women in Miami, Florida. Margie channeled her sharp mind into her career, working as a bookkeeper for her husband’s art business, Broadway Rubber and Sister Dragonfly boutique.

Her lifelong heart for helping others blossomed early. As a young woman, she served her community through the Girl Scouts, the American Red Cross, the Home of the Innocents, and as a camp counselor at Butler State Park. Known for her boundless capacity to care, she was truly a second mother to many throughout her life. An avid University of Kentucky fan her entire life, Margie rarely missed a chance to cheer on her beloved Wildcats.

Margie’s greatest joy was her family, who affectionately knew her as "Mimi." She is survived by her six children: Patti (Mike) Wyatt of Hot Springs, AR; Vonna (Jack) Ritter of Frankfort, IN; Rick (Tandy) Wehder of LaGrange, KY; Kyle Wehder of Corbin, KY; Kurt Wehder of Louisville, KY; and Alex (Pam) Wehder of Louisville, KY.

She was deeply loved by her nine grandchildren: Deric (Stephanie) Wyatt of Sheridan, AR; Jenna (Ben) Sproul of Mount Pleasant, TN; Olivia (Alex Etherington) Ritter of Indianapolis, IN; Chad (Maranda) Wyatt of El Paso, IL; Nolan (Andrea) Ritter of Indianapolis, IN; Shelly Wehder, Margie Wehder, and Travis (Keiran) Wehder, all of Louisville, KY; and Jake (Julia) Wehder of Columbus, OH. Mimi also adored her 12 great-grandchildren and was filled with excitement for another soon to arrive.

Margie was preceded in death by her cherished husband, Eric; her beloved granddaughter, Dr. Haley Wehder of Lexington, KY; her daughter-in-law, Beverly Wehder of Corbin, KY; her brother, Oscar VonAllmen, Jr.; and her parents, Violet Barker and Oscar VonAllmen.

Visitation will be held on Saturday, November 7, starting at 9:30 AM at St. Joe’s on the Hill Catholic Church (2605 St Joe Rd W, Sellersburg, IN). Her funeral service will begin at 10:30 AM, with burial immediately following in the church cemetery.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial gifts be made to support the memory of her late granddaughter through the Dr. Haley Wehder Resident Education Support Fund at the University of Kentucky College of Medicine. Her memory will live on eternally in the hearts of all who loved her.
