Memories and condolences may be shared with the family on our website at, www.ritchiefuneralhome.com under Obituaries. Arrangements were entrusted to the Ritchie Funeral Home of Clarinda, Iowa. Weldon Earl Jones was born June 11, 1922, at Benton, IA, to Walter Earl Jones and Elsie Belle (Gunter) Jones. He grew up in the Conway area and graduated from Conway High School in 1939. Weldon served in the United States Army with the Medical Detachment of 10th Infantry during World War II in Central Europe. On August 18, 1945, Weldon was united in marriage to Cleta Whitehead at Troy, Kansas. They were blessed with four children, Pat, Jeanne, Susie and David. Weldon and Cleta lived in the Hepburn area, moving to New Market the early 1950's, living in the same home for nearly sixty years. Weldon took pride in the New Market community where he had been active in the American Legion, Civic Club, City Council and a member of the New Market Fire Department. Weldon worked for thirty seven years for Taylor County Road Department. He was a member of the Odd Fellows Lodge and received an I.O.O. F. pin for 50 years. He collected coins and Lionel Trains, and attended many garage sales over the years and listened to the Elephant Shop on KMA always looking for a "deal". Weldon was a people person and a good friend. He plowed everyone's garden in New Market not to mention his own, which was quite large, growing a wide range of produce, especially potatoes, tomatoes and sweet corn. He and Cleta enjoyed square dancing, attending the local dances when they were younger. He enjoyed the outdoors and being active. After his first retirement, Weldon worked at the Clarinda Treatment Complex from 1996-2007, when his hip surgery forced him to retire at the age of 85, which did give him more time to go to garage sales and auctions. Preceding Weldon in death were his parents; wife, Cleta Jones; two brothers, Cecil Jones and Thomas Jones; sister, Treva Jones; great granddaughter, Geneah Radke; sister-in-law and brother-in-law, Marie and Raymond Whitehead; brothers-in-law, Milo "Mike" Whitehead and Floyd Jobe. Left to cherish Weldon's memory are his children, Pat Knoke and husband Larry of Loveland, Colorado, Jeanne Showers and husband Eric of Clarinda, IA, Susie Caligiuri and husband Lenny of New Market, Iowa, David Jones and Dennis Boger of Clarinda, Iowa; eight grandchildren; ten great grandchildren; sister, Olive Lombolo of Snohomish, Washington; sisters-in-law, Cleva Jobe of New Market, Iowa and Helen Whitehead of New Market, Iowa; nieces; nephews and many friends. Weldon was a devoted husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, friend and will be greatly missed: his love and inspiration will live on through his family. May God grant comfort and strength to those who mourn his passing.
