O’Neal Weigelt
O’Neal Weigelt was born on March 26, 1928 on a farm near Carmine, Texas to Alfons and Alvina Renck Weigelt. They had five children: Mervin (Geraldine), Mildred (Melvin), O’Neal (Edna), Alfons RC (Darlene) and WE (died in infancy). O’Neal helped farm work and after high school in 1947 he moved to Austin and started working in the dairy, which made milk, ice cream, and other dairy products, among other things. After three years there, the army asked him to serve two years: 6 months in California, 1 year in Japan, and 6 months in Korea. After returning from overseas, he worked in the dairy again, where he met Mary Atchison and they married in 1954. She had four children from a previous marriage: Wesley, Joan, James, and Thomas. Everyone is dead except Thomas, who lives in the Houston area. Shortly after he retired from the dairy farm, Mary passed away in 1994 and then went to visit a mutual friend of theirs for dinner and the rest is history. He and Edna Kramer were married on June 10, 1995. Edna had three daughters and two step-sons from previous marriages: Donna (Marvin), Glenda, Janet (Mark), Wayne and Keith (Sherry). While living in Austin, O’Neal took advantage of his agricultural background by tending a very large garden. Every year he grew a lot of vegetables and what he and Edna couldn’t share with friends and family. He also shared the many pecans he picked and peeled from his pecan trees each year. O’Neal was very active in her church and worked in the pantry for many years. He was an ice cream connoisseur who conjured up loads of homemade treats every summer. He enjoyed watching sports on TV and working in the countryside on his land. One of his proudest moments was being selected for the honor flight to Washington, DC. There he was able to visit the Korean War Memorial along with several other memorials and memorials. He and Edna lived in Austin until August 2018 when they moved to Brookdale Assisted Living in New Braunfels. His wife Edna precedes him in death and he survives death
by a number of nieces, nephews, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
