Weldon Elsworth Timmons

THE OBITUARY “Our family circle has been broken, but our faith and trust in God is not. For He is too just to make a mistake and too wise to err.” WELDON ELSWORTH TIMMONS, son of Gladys Harris, was called to his heavenly home on Monday, April 8, 2024 at Deer’s Head Hospital Center in Salisbury, Maryland following a lengthy illness. Born on January 6, 1946 in Pocomoke, Maryland, Weldon received his formal education in the public schools of Worcester County, Maryland. He received Jesus Christ as his personal Lord and Savior and joined Shiloh United Methodist Church in Pocomoke, Maryland. He was an active member of the United Methodist Men, where he served as President, until his illness. He took great pride in coordinating and serving as the sponsor of two of the church’s annual gospel programs – the Gospel Fest and For Love of Shiloh. Weldon was united in holy matrimony to Phyllis Crawley Timmons; they shared over 53 years of marriage until Phyllis’ death in 2019. Weldon spent a small part of his career serving in the United States Army; however, the majority of his career was spent as an avid carpenter. His most recognized work was at Tidal Health, where he helped build the addition known as the Layfield side. He enjoyed building things, putting toys together for his children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and shooting pool and playing cards with his buddies, especially Pinochle. In addition to his wife, Weldon was preceded in death by a daughter, Takisha Williams, a sister Diane Douglas, and his maternal grandparents who reared him Raymond Timmons, Sr. and Nevada Timmons, three aunts, and his best friend – Drexel Briddell. He leaves to cherish many fond memories: his mother – Gladys Harris; four daughters – Yomeka Timmons of Salisbury, MD (with whom he had a special relationship), Patricia Gattis of Delmar, MD, Patrice Timmons of Pocomoke, MD, and Katrina Timmons of Accokeek, MD; one son – Skky Townsend of Pocomoke, MD; one godson – Antonio Allen of Norfolk, VA; five grandsons, five granddaughters, five great-granddaughters, five sisters – Vanessa Jordan, Alonda Nedab, Niyeka Harris Shearn, Florence Douglas, and Shirley Douglas; one brother: Lecounte Nedab, Sr., and a host of aunts, nieces, nephews, in-laws, and other relatives and friends.
