Eileen Wegner, 86, of Charles City, died April 18, 2018 at Floyd County Memorial Hospital with family by her side. A funeral service will be held Saturday, April 21 at 10:30 a.m., at St. John Lutheran Church in Charles City. Pastor Russ Leeper will officiate. Burial will be at Sunnyside Cemetery. Friends may call at Fullerton Funeral Home in Charles City, Friday, April 20 from 5:00-8:00 p.m., and one hour prior to the funeral at St. John Lutheran Church. Eileen LaWanda (Meyer) Wegner was born March 11, 1932 at Floyd County Home, the daughter of George and Selma (Koebrick) Meyer. She attended school through 6th grade at a country school near Ionia. On April 3, 1949, she was united in marriage to Russell Wegner at the Lutheran Church in Ionia. That day was chosen because Eileen’s parents were married on that same day. They were blessed with two children. Eileen was a member of St. John Lutheran Church, Do-Day Quilting Ladies, Bible Study, and at one time Pork Producers and Welcome Club. She helped on the farm all her married life until moving to town where she worked at Salsbury Baptist Nursing Home as an activity director until retiring. Eileen enjoyed writing in her journal everyday, playing 500 cards, dancing, helping make quilts, taking trips, gardening, fishing, camping, gambling, eating out and working with her flowers. She especially loved spending time with her family and friends. People often heard her say “I love my grandkids and great grandkids so much. They mean the world to me.” Her special friends will hold a place in her heart forever. Eileen will be remembered for her strong faith, big heart and generous spirit. Living family members include daughter-in-laws Christy Wegner of Charles City and Karen Wegner of Ionia; six grandchildren, Jesse (Jessica) Wegner of West Union, Sarah (Tony) Knoll of Allison, Tanner (Michelle) Wegner of Whiteman AFB, Missouri, Amanda (Matt) Theilen of Nashua, McKenzie (Nick) Raab of Allons, Tennessee and Ryan Wegner of Colwell; seven great-grandchildren, Ava and Ella Wegner, Kylie and Peyton Knoll, Max and Emmy Wegner, and Wesley Raab.
