Mary Weidner Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Jan. 22, 2015.
Our dear beautiful angel daughter, Rickell, departed this earth on January 17th after a valiant fight against MRSA and pneumonia. She continues to be a charming and delightful lady who is now sharing her keen insight and joy with those beyond this world. She loved life! Despite the incredible pain she suffered, so much of her life was a joy and incredible strength to us all. Now she is free to skip, run and soar through the heavens with uninhibited happiness. Rickell was a talented artist and loved many things including: chocolate, Thai food, coffee, baking desserts, shiny rocks, crystals, sandcastles, the beach, seashells, action movies, art shows, jewelry, angels, photography, cloud formations, sunsets, purple and silver, flowers, San Francisco, incense, parties, music and giving back to those she loved. Above all else, she loved to laugh; and share her time and love with her family and friends. We loved her dearly. Rickell will be desperately missed by her family and friends.

We want to thank the University of Utah Health Care Center Burn Unit staff for the wonderful care they gave to Rickell while she was there. Their loving professional care was extraordinary and greatly appreciated.

We also want to thank the counselors and other professionals who helped her face the difficult challenges of life.

We would to like to thank the owners and patrons of the Sunset Coffee Shop in Sandy for the love and care they always shared with her.

Rickell is survived by her loving parents, Fred and Gladell Weidner, her brothers and their wives, "Mikey" (Michael) and Melissa, Matthew and Kristen and their daughter Elliotte.

There will be a viewing Friday, January 23, 2015 from 6:00 pm to 8:00 at Wasatch Lawn Memorial Park 3401 South Highland Drive. The celebration of life will be held on Saturday, January 24, 2015 at 11:00 am at the South Jordan 3rd Ward, 9750 South, 2200 West, South Jordan. There will also be a viewing from 9:45 am to 10:45 am before the services. Donations, in lieu of flowers, to help with the funeral services can be made at any Wells Fargo to the "Rickell Weidner Memorial Fund".

Hi Rickell James. It's been almost a year and I still miss you tremendously. I often feel lost without your advice and support. I'm so grateful for our friendship, all of the wonderful times we had, and your stellar example of selfless love.

Dear Gladell & Fred,
Mike and I were so sorry to hear of your loss. She is such a beautiful lady and you represented her well in your tribute to her. I hope the pleasant memories of times spent with her bring you comfort in the coming weeks and years ahead.
Sincerely,

I was so very sorry to hear about Rickell, so sweet and warm. She always made me feel good when she was around. She truly has been, and will always be a special angel. I am so sorry I could not come and show my support, but recently damaging my neck, I can not be up and about for more than forty-five minutes to an hour at a time. I am so sorry, I know she will be severely missed.

Rickell, you will be missed. I have great memories of you growing up in the same ward together and going through your gate in your backyard. You were always fun to talk to and it was great connecting with you each time I saw you. Prayers and hugs to your family.

I remember Rickell from the days she was in my Brownie troop, along with a lot of the neighborhood including my daughter Sarah. She was always a girl who knew her own mind and made her own choices. I am so sorry you have lost her now, but she is safe and in no pain.

I am grateful for knowing Rickell. She was a very loving and kind lady. I remember her most as a quiet protector of her brother Mike. She will be missed. Glad to know she is with our Loving Heavenly Father.

I have many memories of Rickell but the ones I remember most are of Rickell's compassionate and empathetic nature. She was there for me through some of my toughest times and for that I will always be grateful.
