Meredith Christensen Weese

Meredith Christensen Weese passed away quietly, at home, on Thursday, December 18, 2025.

Meredith was born in Tremonton, Utah, on June 4, 1938, to Irving Fenton and Carrie Christensen of Bear River City, Utah. She was the youngest of nine children: Lysle, Nola, Thirl, Gaylen, Floy, Dee, Varge, and Elmo. She was preceded in death by her siblings, her husband, Max Jay Weese, and her great-grandchild, Skylar Curt White. She lived her entire life in Box Elder County. She loved Bear River City and Tremonton. She loved the people who make up those communities.

Meredith married her high school sweetheart, Max Jay Weese, on Valentine’s Day, 1957. Meredith and Max were sealed for time and all eternity on May 29, 1964, in the Logan Temple. Together, they raised their four children: Mark (Diane) of River Heights, Utah; Curt (Shirleen) of Tremonton, Utah; Nancy Peterson (Russ) of Garland, Utah; and Jan Kay (Dane) of Spanish Fork, Utah. She loved her 15 grandchildren and her 44 great-grandchildren, and they all loved her in return. She loved family gatherings and was always the life of the party; family was the epicenter of her life.

Meredith, as a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, had opportunities to serve in a variety of callings, including the Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary organizations. She and Max enjoyed serving for many years as hosts at the Joseph Smith Building, where they met people from all over the world. However, her greatest service was rendered as she ministered to the one. She loved people, a good visit, a story followed by laughter, and often words of encouragement.

Meredith was a hard worker, and she taught her children the value of hard work. During her lifetime, she worked a variety of jobs. She could be found at Bear River State Bank working as a teller, at the sugar factory weighing beets as farmers harvested their crops, hanging wallpaper, and working behind the counter at local drug stores filling prescriptions. In 1983, Meredith and Max bought Carlson Glass and Paint, and Curt joined them in this venture. She handled mixing paint and visiting with customers while Curt handled the glass portion of the business.

Meredith enjoyed playing and watching sports. She loved the Utah Jazz. If a game got close, she would calm her nerves by turning off the TV and getting a report the following morning as to whether they had won or not. On one occasion, she had two grandsons playing baseball against each other in the state tournament. Not wanting to show any favoritism, she stayed home from the game but gave Max specific instructions that he was not to sit by either family, but by himself in the outfield.

Meredith had many friends. She enjoyed playing cards with many of them every other week. On April Fool’s Day this year, she showed up to the card game sporting a diamond ring and announced she was getting married and moving to Logan. They were shocked, thinking their card games would come to an end. Finally, she exclaimed, “April Fools!” She even met new friends while sharing her recipes for lasagna, taffy, fudge, and salsa. However, her best recipe that she shared with us was the recipe for living a great life.
