Jodi Elizabeth Weitekamp, 67, of Morrisonville, died peacefully at her home on Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2024.
Visitation will be held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 3 at Perfetti-Assalley Funeral Home in Morrisonville.
Mrs. Weikemap was born on July 9, 1957, and was adopted by the late Raymond and Dolores Wise. She married the love of her life, Steven “Steve” Weitekamp in Shelbyville, and he survives. She attended Huff Junior High, Calvary Lutheran School and Lincoln Park High School. Throughout her life, she had many occupations, doing anything she could to ensure her family was taken care of. Before retiring, one could find her slinging drinks at The Other Bar or the old Midway, always being the life of the party.
She was dedicated to making her monthly donation to St. Jude, making photo collages for her family, being an avid sports fan, especially when it came to St. Louis Cardinals baseball and most importantly, being the best mom, grandma and great-grandma anyone could ever ask for. Those who know her know there is no such thing as step or half, family is family. To know Mrs. Weitekamp was to love her, known for being the most welcoming, open-hearted woman that was always known for her doors being open to anyone on any given day.
In addition to her husband, Mrs. Weitekamp is survived by her children, Amy Wyle, William “Billy” Wyle, Michael (Becky) Weitekamp, Matthew (Rachel) Weitekamp and Shannon Morgan; grandchildren, Tyler Lanier, Charliene (Brian) Millburg, Call Beiermann, Autumn Wyle, Finley Weitekamp, Mikaela Weitekamp, Trent Allgood and Jordan Jett; great-grandchildren, Lexie Millburg, Ashlyn Millburg, Bella Lanier, Hadleigh Millburg and Bradee Millburg; sister, Terry Fulks; special friend, Penny Wright; several nieces and nephews and many more.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her uncle, George; aunt, Riva; brother, Harvey Pollard; son, Earl Jett; great-granddaughter, Kaylee Lanier; and beloved cats, Allie and Albert Schmidt.
