Services for Jack C. Weldon, 78, of Ardmore, were held at 4 p.m., Friday, April 2, at the First Christian Church, Marietta, with the Rev. Craig Rutherford officiating and Ted Gilbert reading the eulogy.
 
Mr. Weldon was born May 3, 1925, in Ardmore, the son of Seaborn Dars and Mattie Louise Weichering Weldon. He died Tuesday, March 30, 2004, in Mercy Memorial Health Center, Ardmore.
 
A veteran, Mr. Weldon served in the U.S. Navy during World War II. He and Cynthia Sanders were married April 30, 1947, in Gainesville, Texas. A successful businessman, Mr. Weldon owned several businesses in Oklahoma City before retiring in 1975. The couple returned to Ardmore to spend time with their granddaughter, Aimee. The joy of his life was taking care of Aimee, and then when Ryan and Jeffrey came along, he and their father, Ted, went on many special "five-day" trips. Swimming at GP's pool became so natural that now they are both Navy divers.
 
Six years later, a blonde named Kellie moved into his life. Two granddaughters and two grandsons were the perfect combination for a perfect grandpa. Many businesses in Ardmore recognized Mr. Weldon and his beloved dog, Dog, who was his loyal and beloved companion. They visited McDonald's each morning. Dog went to Heaven the year GP had his stroke. They are now reunited on the Rainbow Bridge. Mr. Weldon was lucky to have a very important person come in his life almost three years ago. Ysabel Danile Gilbert loved her "Pampaw Jack."
 
Mr. Weldon was a member of the First Christian Church of Marietta, where he served as an elder.
 
Survivors include his wife Cynthia Weldon of the home; three daughters, Emmy Ellis of Ardmore, Liz Weldon of Ardmore and Lynn Weldon of Oklahoma City; a brother, Jess Weldon of Arlington, Texas; a sister, Nettie Coleman of Ardmore; two granddaughters, Aimee Ellis of Phoenix, and Kelli Beard of Oklahoma City; two grandsons and granddaughters-in-law, Ryan and Jodi Gilbert of San Diego, and Jeffrey and Danile Gilbert of Kailua, Hawaii; a great-granddaughter, Ysabel Gilbert; and several nieces and nephews.
 
Mr. Weldon was preceded in death by his parents; and three sisters, Bernice Ford, Elizabeth Callender and Jean Weldon.
 
Pallbearers were Ryan Owens, Curtis Cochran, Tim Franklin, J.W. Dighton, David Pate and Chris Davenport.
 
Interment was in Lakeview Cemetery, Marietta, under the direction of Flanagan-Watts Funeral Home, Marietta
