Obituary of Rebecca Oaldon
Rebecca A. Oaldon, 76, Indianapolis, passed away March 13, 2015. Rebecca was born to the late Helen and Alfred Wellinghoff on August 10, 1938 in Indianapolis.
Rebecca graduated from Redondo Union High School in 1956 before returning to Indianapolis in 1958. She worked as a graphic designer in the Army Civilian Service at Fort Harrison for 32 years. She later worked for Krieg Brothers Catholic supply for several years as a book buyer. She lived a very rich and fulfilling life that was marked by her willingness to help others.
She was a very beautiful woman who was dedicated to her faith and family. She was actively involved at St. Michael the Archangel church in Indianapolis and the Divine Mercy chapel there. She held weekly prayer groups in her home to pray for the sick and suffering and occasionally went on pilgrimages around the world to pray.
Rebecca was also exceptionally creative. She was a gifted artist who could paint in any media, but particularly liked to paint landscapes and still lifes in oils and acrylics. She also painted signs for local businesses and even custom designs on motorcycles and sprint cars. However, she will probably be most remembered for the creative Halloween costumes she made and the custom graphic t-shirts she stenciled for her children and their friends in the 1970s.
She is survived by William Oaldon their four children: Mark (Andrea) Oaldon, Michael Oaldon, April Davis, and Matthew (Danielle) Oaldon. Sisters: J'Nene (Larry) Jessup, Mary Patterson and Helen Madison. Her grandchildren: Andrew Oaldon, Christopher (Kristin) Oaldon, Nona King, Daniel Oaldon, Steven (Brandi) Mason, Jake Davis, Trinity Davis, Lucus Oaldon, Gianna Oaldon, Dominic Oaldon, Naomi Oaldon, six great-grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews.
