of Nashville, TN
February 15, 1965 - September 2, 2017
Kristi L. Weldon, 52, surrounded by her loving family, passed away after two and a half years battling with cancer. A young life with a spirit overflowing with energy, never meeting a stranger with her infectious personality and winning smile, was taken too early Saturday, September 2, 2017. Born in Blytheville, Arkansas, she lived in Memphis, Tennessee, and was currently a resident of Nashville, Tennessee. She was a graduate of Briarcrest high School, attended Arkansas State University and further earned a degree as a dental assistant. She worked for NCA in Nashville. While in Memphis she taught Taekwondo for thirteen years at the Germantown Athletic Club and especially enjoyed working with the 5 year old and under, called the ''Little Tigers''. She held a 4th Degree Black Belt with the American Taekwondo Association and was a Certified Instructor, an International Judge, Regional Tournament Data Secretary, a Tennessee State Champ in forms, sparring and weapons. She was predeceased in death by her maternal and paternal grandparents. She leaves a loving family missing her so much. Father: Jerry W. Weldon, Sr., step mother: Donna Weldon, of Osceola, AR; half-brother: Jerry W. (Sheryl) Weldon, Jr, of Virginia; half-sister: Brandy Weldon (Chris) Walker of Osceola AR; brother: Gavin Weldon of Memphis; Mother: Peggy Sweet Larkin of Memphis, TN; she leaves her ''Sissy'' Kelly Schade; nieces, nephews, aunts, uncle and cousins; her devoted, much loved forever best friend and caregiver: Linda K. Workman of Nashville, TN; and a host of loving friends. The family would like to thank the many friends for their outpouring of love and support during her battle with cancer. We would also like to thank Ansley and Shannon of the Avalon Hospice of Nashville and Rebecca and Heather of the Avalon Hospice of Memphis. Many thanks to so many, at Tennessee Oncology and Sarah Cannon Hospital in Nashville. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to the donor's choice.

Dearest family- I am so very sorry for your loss. Kristi was such a beautiful , kind, and funny person. Her laughter , smile, and spirit could light up a room. We grew up together on the same street in Germantown. She drove me to school (Briarcrest) and I thought I was the luckiest girl in the whole world because I got to ride to school with her. She would sometimes let me steer while she put on her makeup. She made school and going to school fun. She always lovingly welcomed me into her home. Your whole family was a picture of love and kindness to me. You are all on my heart and in my prayers. I pray God comforts you and brings you peace as only He can. I look forward to seeing her again in Heaven.

I was not prepared to hear this news about Kris. We were at James Taylor just a few short weeks ago, I didn't get to see her but I knew she and Linda were there. Kris was my friend in High School. She was incredibly athletic, making everything look so easy. She had a smile that could light up a city. She was sweet and kind. I would check on her periodically and pray for her often. I am very sad that she had to go, but I know where she is. God has her. He has made her a Heavenly Home. I will see her again. Much love to her family, to Linda, to all of her friends. She was a beautiful person.
