Winfield Weldon Harper, 98 SEAFORD - Winfield Weldon Harper, died Wednesday, January 6, 2010, in his home with his family by his side. He was 98. Born on the fourth of July in 1911 in Hurlock, Md., he was the son of the late W. Walton Harper and Nettie Trice Harper. Weldon attended Hurlock High School and what is now known as Goldey-Beacom College. He met, and in 1934, married the love of his life, Margaret Stewart Harper. During their 75 years together, Weldon worked at Citizens Bank, City Service Oil Company and DuPont Company before a lengthy career in construction. He was a partner with Webb and Turner, Taylor and Harper and Harper and Harper, and was involved in numerous construction projects including many area schools, motels in Ocean City and the development of Holly Shores near Seaford. Weldon was a member of the Seaford Lions Club, Tall Cedars of Lebanon and the Choptank Lodge No. 138, A F & A M, which awarded him a 70 year service award. He was a member of St. John's United Methodist Church and the Seaford Golf and Country Club, where he enjoyed rounds of golf with his friends. In later years, he enjoyed Saturday drives to Hurlock as he reminisced about his childhood. He was preceded in death by his parents and granddaughter Cynthia Diane Spicer. Weldon is survived by his wife, Margaret; daughter, Diane Spicer and her husband, Maynard; his son, Bill Harper and wife, Nancy; granddaughters, Lisa Spicer and her husband, Ken Davis, Leigh Ann Parks and her husband, Frank, and Kim McConnell and her husband, James; grandson, Will Harper and his wife, Yvonne; 11 great-grandchildren; and one great-great-grandchild, who all lovingly called him Pop-pop.
