Teresa Kaye Weldon was born in Montana and grew up in Hood River, Oregon. On Sept. 20, 1980, Teresa married her beloved husband Randal Weldon. They had literally known each other since they were born in the same hospital in Hot Springs, Montana, and their families had known each other before they were born. Neither one of them had ever dated or been with anyone else and were blessed to have been married over 42 years.
Teresa developed a love of muscle cars from her husband Randy. Her all-time favorite was a 72 AMC Javelin AMX.
Teresa always had the biggest heart and helped so many over the years, always willing to give of her time, energy and knowledge. She was known for being very strong, but also very kind, loving and very caring of others. Beautiful inside and out and one of a kind.
Teresa shared, “We have had a lot of good times, enjoyed many wonderful memories together. Raised two children and each of them have blessed us with a grandson. We have had a lot of fun showing APHA Paint horses (raising and showing ACS Ultimate Dream to 390 halter points) and raising AKC Boxer dogs. Met a lot of nice people. Randal has been my rock and constant support through my cancer surgeries. Very grateful that I’m still here to enjoy my large family, many friends, wonderful congregation, various animals and my garden full of plants.”
A happy point in her life was when she was baptized as one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Teresa spent many hours sharing her love of the Bible with people she met.
Teresa passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on May 16, 2023, at the age of 60. Teresa was strong to the end and can now rest peacefully in Jehovah God’s memory and ours.
Teresa is survived by her husband Randal Weldon, of Ridgefield, Washington; and her mother, Connie Stover, of Clayton, Georgia. Her father, Merrill Stover, died Sept. 24, 2022. She is also survived by two children, Amy Johnson and Dr. David (Mylene) Weldon Bonner; and grandsons, Jameson and Oliver.
Her siblings are Keith Stover (deceased), Karen (Dan) Shivvers, of Vancouver, Washington, Sharon (Shane Ramey) Stover-Ramey, of Clayton, Georgia, Andrew (Jaime) Stover, of Colton, Oregon. She also leaves behind several nieces and nephews and many close friends who deeply miss her.
