Obituary for WEGENER


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Tuesday March 18, 2014

WEGENER, THOMASITA "T.J." T.J. passed away on March 10, 2014. After a long struggle, she succumbed to her debilitating condition. Almost reaching the youthful age of 75, she was born on May 11, 1939. She is preceded in death by her husband Robert Wegener, father Gilbert O. Aragon, mother Ruby S. Aragon and brothers Doug and Daniel Aragon. She is survived by her loving son Marc Wegener; brothers John, Ron, Phil and Tim Aragon; sister Marlinda Brown; daughters Cindy Houghton and Carla Brooks; two granddaughters Jenna Chivaro and Kaylie Brooks; and a multitude of extended family members. T.J. was an exuberant, social person making friends and influencing others wherever she went. With her strong belief in God and sense of community, she took great pride and joy in helping others better themselves out of difficult situations in life. A Licensed Barber for over 35 years, due to her love and desire to travel, she made a massive life change in her 50's to join her husband in starting BJ&TJ Trucking Inc. as an over- the-road truck driver to be able to "see the country". She retired from this in 2004, after a 17 year career getting paid to travel and see the country. She will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. There will be a Celebration of Life Memorial Service to be held at Sagebrush Christian Church at 6440 Coors Blvd NW, Albuquerque, NM 87120 on Thursday 3/20/14, at 11:00 am.
