Evelyn Rose Wegener, 90, was
born February 10, 1923 in Tylersburg, PA to Ordie (Mealy)
and Herbert O. Wolf. She passed
away peacefully on April 1, 2013
in her home at St. Simeon's Episcopal Home, Tulsa.
She was preceded in death by: her husband
of 45 years, Maj. Kenneth "Ike"
Wegener; her parents; sister,
Virginia and brother, Raymond.
Evelyn graduated from Wewoka High School and Oklahoma
Baptist University with a BA in Music. She
subsequently taught piano at Harding University and left to join Ike in Japan where
her first daughter was born. This began a
grand adventure traveling through many
countries and states courtesy of the US Air
Force. She developed a love of cooking and
passed this art form on to her children and
grandchildren. As an accomplished pianist, she taught music for many years and
shared her passion for this great art with
many. She was active in many organizations including Sigma Alpha Iota, OKC
Civic Music, and she was the pianist for
the Tinker AFB Officer's Wives Club Skylarks. She was a long time member of St.
Christopher's Episcopal Church
in Midwest City. Evelyn's grace,
love of family and deep spirituality touched all she knew during
her extraordinarily beautiful life.
Evelyn is survived by: four children, Dr. Jana Bingman (Tulsa),
Mark Wegener (Stillwater), Susan
(Phil) Smauder (Tulsa), and Joan
Wegener (Oklahoma City); seven
grandchildren, Sara (Dr. Jay)
Phoenix, Stacy Bingman, Jacob
