Charlene Weigel Obituary
January 1, 1947 - December 15, 2023
Grapevine, Texas - Charlene B. Weigel nee Matt passed away on December 15, 2023 in Grapevine, TX. She was born in Huron, Ohio on January 1, 1947, sharing the same birthdate as her father, William B. Matt. Char graduated from Huron High School in 1965 and also attended Bowling Green State University. She was then employed by Economy Savings and Loan in Norwalk, Ohio. She subsequently married Rick Brown and relocated a number of times in conjunction with his employment ending up in Grapevine, Texas. Char then worked for Verizon, retiring in 2003. They had two children Ryan Brown (Christine), Chicago, and Nicole Brown.
In 1997, Char married Leroy Weigel in Grapevine, Texas. She expanded her family with Leroy's four daughters (Holly, Angela, Tracy and Katie) and subsequently 7 grandchildren and 2 great grandchildren. Her daughter, Nicole, blessed her with a grandson, William, and her son Ryan with a grandson, Sam. She has enjoyed her children, grandchildren and bonus children immensely over the years.
She considered herself very blessed to have had two wonderful sisters, Dianne Rundell and Suzanne (Larry Capucini), and loving parents. They enjoyed a wonderful childhood on Ohio Street in Huron, spending many hours and days on Lake Erie boating in their Lyman boat and of course on the beach. She dearly loved her niece, Tamara Haught (Bill) and great nephew, Brandon Didion (Hillary). In addition, she loved her nephew, Dennis Bickley (LeeAnn) and great niece, Kyra Bickley.
Char was an active member of Compass Christian Church and had a deep faith in God. She and Leroy spent many hours in bible study and made many wonderful friends through their church. Char also maintained contact with several of her Huron classmates over the years, meeting for a long weekend in Huron. She truly enjoyed this each year.
Char was preceded in death by her parents, William B and Mary M. Matt and brother in law, James Rundell. At her request, cremation has taken place and she is with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Services were held by the immediate family. Memorial donation may be made to The Special Olympics at https://support.specialolympics.org
A private memorial service will be held in the summer in Ohio.

Nicole, we remember your mom as a very kind and caring person. Her love of family was obvious. She adored you and William! You both were so blessed to have such a wonderful Mom and Grandmother, who now is with Our Lord in Heaven, and yet still so close to you watching over you both and smiling.
Love, Kristen and Phyllis
