Waunetta Wiechman Obituary
Waunetta M. Wiechman, 92, of Findlay, passed away Friday, Dec. 8, 2023, at Blanchard Valley Hospital, Findlay.
She was born Jan. 20, 1931, in Bradner, to Ray and Hazel (Schreiber) Evans. Waunetta married Ernest "Bud" Wiechman on June 13, 1948, at St. James Lutheran Church. They were married for 67 years until his death in 2015.
Waunetta worked at RCA/Harris in Findlay for nearly 30 years until her retirement. She was a lifelong member of St. James Lutheran in Bradner. She loved camping, having both a permanent camper campsite and later, camping in her RV around Ohio. One of her biggest hobbies was crocheting. She created many blankets, hats, gloves, and scarves for all her family over the years. Waunetta enjoyed watching the birds at her multiple birdfeeders all around her yard. More than anything, she loved spending time with her family.
Waunetta is survived by her brother, Dale (Marlene) Evans of Wayne; sister, Sandra Farrell of Frenchburg, Kentucky; six children, Robert (Rhea) Wiechman of Carey, Karen (James) White of Findlay, Marsha Trimble of Findlay, Gloria (Ron) Casebolt of Lima, Dennis (Pam) Wiechman of Oak Harbor, and Carol Sidle of North Baltimore; 17 grandchildren, 27 great-grandchildren; seven great-great-grandchildren; and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents; beloved husband, "Bud"; brothers and sister, George, Martin, James, Donald, Gale, and Imogene Evans; infant daughter, Diane; sons-in-law, Jerry Trimble and Larry Sidle; grandchildren, Michele and Timothy Wiechman; and infant great-grandson, TJ Sidle.
Visitation for friends will be 11 a.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, 2023, until the time of Waunetta's celebration of life at 12 p.m. at Barndt Funeral Home, Wayne. Pastor Melanie Haack will officiate. Burial will be at Graham Cemetery near Wayne.
