Olen W. Wiemers of Hondo, age 84, passed away Wednesday, June 29, 2011. The last child of John Wiemers and Ida (Schneider)Wiemers, he was born Sept. 7, 1926, at the old "home place," six miles south of town and just off the Hondo Creek. He maxed out the scale at 14 pounds! The family moved to town just before Olen married Fay Del Schweers on June 25, 1949. Last Saturday was their 62nd wedding anniversary. He worked for his brother-in-law, Marvin Schweers, delivering fuel and supplemented his income by working nights at the Hondo Army Airfield. He later took over the Gulf distributorship from Marvin creating the family business, Wiemers Oil. He enjoyed going to Medina Lake, having bar-be-ques; attending family reunions, church, and the Masonic Lodge; hunting and family trips to Colorado, going camping, fun at the pasture, fishing trips, and keeping up with his reading. He was preceded in death by his parents; brother, Reuben Wiemers; and sister, Luella Schweers. He is survived by a loving wife; sons, Clifton Lee Wiemers of Canyon Lake and Gordon O. Wiemers and wife Debbie of Hondo; daughter, Donna Fay Jay and husband Roger of Georgetown; seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren; brothers, Elgin and wife Velma and Alvin and wife Alice, all of Hondo. Funeral service was held Saturday, July 2, 10 a.m., at New Fountain United Methodist Church, where they were married 62 years ago and have been attending ever since. Bearers were grandsons and grandsons-in-law, John Wiemers, Jody Perry, Ryan Wiemers, Brandon Williamson, Jon Bodwell, Emmanuel Jimenez and Brad Walker. A Masonic service preceded interment at Hondo Cemetery, Oakwood Section. The family suggests memorials may be made to New Fountain United Methodist Church Building Fund or the charity of one's choice.
