In Loving Memory of Caryl Joyce Weldon

1947-2026

It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the loss of our beloved Caryl Joyce Weldon, who was found deceased on October 19, 2026.

Caryl was more than just a beloved mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend. She was a woman whose love and presence touched the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. She enjoyed going out, spending time with her family and friends, and making memories with the people she held dear. Caryl also had a special place in her heart for animals, bringing love and affection to the furry companions who were part of her life.

Throughout her life, Caryl shared countless moments of love, laughter, and companionship with those around her. Her family and friends meant so much to her, and the memories they created together will forever be treasured.

Caryl is survived by her daughter, Brenda House and family; 7 children and 12 grandchildren; her three older sisters, Ruth Putt, Barbara Trester, and Rose Rudaulf; her younger brother, John Smith; and her younger sister, Alice Perkins. She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews, extended family members, and dear friends who will cherish her memory.

Caryl was preceded in death by her parents, George and Marion Smith of Illinois; her beloved husband, Darrell Weldon of Missouri; her son, Robert Smith of Missouri; her older brother, Jay Smith of Florida; her brother-in-law, Frederick Trester Sr. of Florida; her son-in-law, Donald House of Missouri; and her granddaughter, Merinna Berry of Missouri.

Although our hearts are heavy with sorrow, we find peace and comfort in knowing that Caryl is now reunited with her beloved husband, Darrell, who preceded her in death. While her absence leaves an emptiness that words cannot describe, there is something beautiful and comforting in the thought that, after their time apart, Caryl and Darrell are together once again, reunited in eternal love and peace.

As we mourn her passing, we find comfort in the promise of God's Word:

Revelation 21:4 (KJV)

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

These words remind us that although our hearts are broken here on Earth, we can find hope in the promise of eternal peace, where suffering and sorrow are no more.

Family and friends are invited to gather in remembrance of Caryl on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at Jay B. Smith Funeral Homes, Fenton Chapel, located at 777 Oakwood in Fenton, Missouri. Visitation will take place from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., with the funeral service beginning at 11:00 a.m. Burial will follow at Lakewood Park Cemetery in Affton, Missouri.

Caryl will be deeply missed by her family, friends, and everyone whose life she touched. Though she may no longer be with us physically, her love, laughter, and cherished memories will remain in our hearts forever.

Until we meet again, may she rest peacefully in the arms of the Lord, reunited with her beloved Darrell, where there are no more tears, no more pain, and no more goodbyes.
