Romelle L. (Faber) Weidler

Romelle Lucille Louise Weidler (née Faber) entered the Heavenly Kingdom on

June 2nd, 2024, at the age of 88 years in Forest Park, IL. She was born

October 12th, 1935, in Mendota, IL, to Harry and Lillie Pauline (Yost) Faber.

She attended Luther Institute and took secretarial classes as she did not plan

to attend college. After graduating, she was employed by the Illinois Bell

Telephone company for a number of years.

Romelle met Ronald Weidler at a dart ball tournament that their parents had

made them go to, and they were later married on June 2nd, 1956. Throughout

their 46 years of marriage, they were blessed with five children and a multitude

of grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Ronald passed away in April of 2003

at the age of 70. Romelle passed away on what would have been her and

Ronald’s 68th wedding anniversary. She has been taken care of by sons

Christopher and Jason since Ronald’s death, especially these last few months.

She was a member of St John Evangelical Lutheran Church for many years

and sang in the church choir. In her free time, she enjoyed crocheting

blankets, stockings, and other things for her family, friends, and church

families. She was also known as the “Block Mom” to many of the neighborhood

kids.

Romelle is preceded in death by her parents, brother Duane, husband Ronald,

and son in law Daniel O’Sullivan. She is survived by son Dennis (Ruth),

daughters Karen (Daniel) and Barbara (Rick), sons Christopher and Jason, 15

grandchildren, and 18 great-grandchildren.
