Jacqueline Lee Weller
Jacqueline Lee Weller, age 62, of Concord Township, a beloved wife, mother, grandmother and friend, passed away peacefully on March 8, 2025, at her home, surrounded by the love and warmth of her family.
She was born on May 30, 1962, to Raymond G. and Mary Jane (nee Bailey) Blatner in Springville, N.Y.
Jackie and Peter’s journey began on a blind date in Buffalo, N.Y., where Peter was immediately captivated by Jackie. Though Jackie wasn’t quite as certain at first, Peter’s genuine affection and persistence won her over in just a matter of weeks. On June 23, 1990, they married, and nearly 35 years of love, laughter and shared moments followed.
Their love only grew when they were blessed with two daughters; their family completed their love in the most beautiful way. Together, they built a life full of deep connection, unwavering support and a bond that only deepened with time.
Jacqueline, known to her family and friends as a pillar of strength, fought with unwavering determination until the very end. Her resilience and stoic nature were qualities that defined her. She approached every challenge with a pragmatic and rational mindset, and her calm presence brought stability and comfort to all those around her.
Her adventurous spirit knew no bounds. Jacqueline loved to travel, hike and immerse herself in the beauty of nature. She found peace and joy in the outdoors, a reflection of her vibrant and curious soul.
As a mother and grandmother, Jacqueline was the embodiment of unconditional love. She was the best Nana anyone could ever hope for, always ready to drop everything to support her daughters and grandkids.
Her love language was cooking for others and she had a rare gift: no matter what ingredients were in your fridge, she could create a meal that was nothing short of special.
Professionally, Jacqueline was one of the world’s best CPAs. She generously provided tax advice and services to family members, always “au gratis,” offering her expertise with warmth and care. Her thoughtful and giving nature was apparent in everything she did.
Jacqueline had an inviting laugh that was contagious — impossible to hear without laughing along with her. She was also a passionate puzzler, finding joy and challenge in every type of thought exercise.
In her later years, Jacqueline found profound faith and community at Chardon United Methodist Church, where she formed deep and meaningful friendships that brought her peace in her final chapter.
Jacqueline is survived by her husband, Peter Weller, of Concord Township; daughters, Hannah (Nick) Lazar and Gabrielle (Matt) Kulik; and her cherished grandchildren, Paulette “Mae” Lazar, Smith Raymond Lazar, Jacqueline Eleanor Kulik and the new grandchild on the way in June 2025; as well as a wide circle of family, friends and loved ones who will carry her memory in their hearts forever.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to the Chardon United Methodist Church, 515 North St., Chardon, OH 44024, a place that brought Jacqueline great comfort in her final years.
A celebration of Jacqueline’s life will be held at a later date, with details to be announced.
Jacqueline Weller’s legacy of love, laughter, strength, and faith will forever live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Burr Funeral Home and Cremation Service in Chardon. Condolences and memories may be shared online at www.burrservice.com.
