She is also survived by a large number of cousins, nieces and nephews who comprise the extended Wegmann and Martinez families. Mrs. Wegmann was the valedictorian of the Class of 1941 at the Academy of the Sacred Heart and graduated from Loyola University where she met Billy Wegmann whom she wed on August 12, 1947. Theirs was a loving and lively home filled with family and friends, which she maintained until her passing. She had an inquiring mind and many interests, but especially enjoyed her years as a volunteer at New Orleans Museum of Art with the children's education program and her trips with her museum friends. A devoted daughter, sister, wife, mother, and friend, she will be missed by all who knew her kind and generous spirit. Memories of Mrs. Wegmann and her family include the dinner bell rung at the front door on Fairway Drive, Sunday dinners at Papere's home with the Martinez family, Mardi Gras day on St. Charles Avenue with the Wegmann family, parties with family and friends on Thanksgiving morning, Saints games since 1967, summer family vacations, school friends at the house for dinners, and the list goes on. She had an incredible memory, love of learning, and commitment to family at home and in Spain: "Defined by love, time and graciousness, my mother is a delight to hear, see and appreciate -- a straight line from here & now to ages and echoes ago, to talk to Mom is to hear & see people and places we have loved. " (from LMW Guestbook-2017). The family wishes to thank the ladies of Gifted Nurses for their extraordinary care of our mother in later years and Notre Dame Hospice for the support and comfort provided her over the past few weeks.
