Virginia Weldon

Thinking about Ginny today and remembering what a remarkable teacher, scientist, mentor and friend she was. She is permanently in my head as a resource and advising voice.

Ginny was a dear friend for many years. The impact she made on my life is on going. Kindness and curiosity

Dr. Ginny Weldon was my mentor in pediatric endocrinology. She was very smart, well informed, strategic and recognized the need to be charmingly insistent on equal treatment for women in medicine. Always helpful, and a great teacher she taught me much implicitly and explicitly. Much later I came to know her and Fran as a generous donors to the mission of Meds & Food for Kids, saving the lives of Haitian children. She knew Haiti first hand. Many years earlier she traveled several times to...

Dr. Virginia Weldon was an excellent physician and served As Camp Supervising Physician at Camp EDI. I served as Camp Director at Cmp EDI, The St Louis Camp For Children with Diabetes. She was truly a special lady! Bill & Cathy Hardebeck

May your memory of her always guide you to love

Virginia was a dear friend and long time associate. Her work at Monsanto and her life of service at Washington University and in the community made an enormous difference in the lives of many. She brought integrity, love. and charm to everything she became involved with. Seldom did such talent, energy and love of helping reside in one person as it did in Virginia. Richard Mahoney

Ginny was a major early career mentor for me. I worked in her laboratory as a medical student in the late 1960´s. She nurtured my interest in research and in pediatric medicine. I was fortunate to remain a friend for many years and grew to admire and depend upon her wisdom and her integrity. She was devoted to St. Louis and it´s important institutions, and to its people.

Such mighty contributions to science and medicine in a small lovely package. You never stopped learning, exploring, loving, giving. You were a true role model for women as well as for men Peggy Symes

She was a role model for the women who were in pediatric residency in the early seventies when women were still there in small numbers. I remember her advising us "Never take a part-time position, you will find yourself with full-time work with half-time pay." She was strong, professional, encouraging, smart, attractive-everything we aspired to be.
