Kaye Weger

Kaye Weger, 69, of Centralia, IL, formerly of Robinson, IL, passed away January 19, 2022, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Mount Vernon, IL. She was born December 12, 1952, in Robinson, IL, the daughter of Arlington "Lowell" & Ruth (Goodwin) Parrott. She wore several hats throughout the decades as a medical secretary, realtor, and assistant school librarian. However, her life's fulfillment revolved around her family, especially her three grandchildren. A perfect day would include a ride on the pontoon boat, making popcorn, and playing several rounds of cards. In her family, she will always be the "Hand and Foot" queen - a well-earned title. While Illinois will always be home, Tom and Kaye had the opportunity to live and travel the world together. In her retirement years, there was nothing better than a beach trip to Destin, FL with Tom and drinking gin and tonics. As we all reflect and remember our favorite memories of Kaye, it will be impossible to forget her infectious laugh, clever quips, and heart of gold. Very simply, the world is a better place because of her. She married Tom Weger on May 31, 1975, and they enjoyed 47 years of marriage. She is survived by her mother Ruth Parrott. Their daughter, Kristina Weger, and her significant other James Robinson. Their son Nicholas Weger and his wife Kristina Merrick Weger; by her beloved grandchildren, Evelyn (8), August (4), and Cyrus (six months). She is survived by her sisters and their spouses: Sabra & Floyd Adams, Karen & Rick Holt, Tammie & Jeff Wellbaum, and Greta & Al Lowry, as well as, 26 nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her brothers-in-law and their spouses: Mike & Julie Weger, Joe and Shawnee Weger, and cousin Tony & Sherri Butcher - and a total of 20 nieces and nephews.
