Bonnie Charlene Lunceford Weightman left this world to be with our Lord and Savior on Friday, Feb. 5, 2010. Charlene was born on Sept. 17, 1922, in Smith County. She was a graduate of Van High School, class of 1940. She was preceded in death by her parents William Glenn Lunceford and Eula Belle Martin Lunceford; her husband, John W. Weightman; her brothers, Wilbern G. Lunceford and James E. Lunceford; and her daughter, Nancy Elayne Stanfield York.
She is survived by six children, Annette Dealy-Russell of Lake Dallas, Beth Sumrow of Richardson, Terry Weightman of Garland, James K. Stanfield of North Texas, John Weightman of Austin, and Sonya Travis of Garland; two brothers, Billy Ray Lunceford and Bobby Joe Lunceford of Liberty; 15 grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; and a host of cousins, nieces, nephews and other loved ones.
Charlene lived in Dallas since the late '40s and remained at the same residence until her departure. She owned and operated Charmae's Beauty Salon in Casa Linda Shopping Center for more than 20 years before retiring in her 50s to enjoy her talents with gardening, arts and crafts, and entertaining the family with her beautiful sense of humor. She was a member of the Valley Creek Church of Christ for more than 60 years and she was a charter member of the congregation where it began in the Urbandale community of Dallas.
She was laid to rest beside her loving husband of 38 years in the Garden of Prayer at Grove Hill Memorial Park, Dallas, on Monday, Feb. 8, 2010. It was her wish that anyone who wanted to honor her would please make a kind donation to her church home at the Valley Creek Church of Christ, 1420 Pioneer Road, Mesquite, 75149.
"Wonderful sermons have been the food of my spirit, and the church members here have always been my family in Christ" - CBW.
