On the evening of October 17th, 2024, Lemoin passed away peacefully at St. Peter’s Hospital in Helena, MT. She was surrounded and comforted by her entire family. Lemoin was 84 years old.
Lemoin Weidman was born in the town of Yankton SD on February 7th 1940. She was the second child, and only daughter of Ruth Augusta Norman and David Werner.
After her birth, Lemoin’s family settled in Stanford, MT. Lemoin graduated from Stanford High School in 1958. In 1959 Lemoin attended Kinman Business University in Spokane for one year earning a certificate in office management. She kept school friends up until her passing. Her childhood friends adored Lemoin because she was such a, “caring and agreeable person”. After graduation, Lemoin worked at her father’s cafe in Stanford. She met her future husband there, Arnold “Larry” L. Weidman in 1960. Larry and Lemoin were married three months later on December 10th 1960.
Lemoin worked many jobs throughout her life, including an ice cream store, grocery clerk, bank teller, and office assistant. Her favorite job was being a wife and a mother. Her son Lowell Weidman was born on December 25th 1963 and her daughter Leslie Lang followed on March 24th 1965. Lemoin’s new family moved a lot throughout the early years because Larry was working on a construction crew for Mountain Bell.

Upon retirement Lemoin and Larry lived in Cascade MT, Wickenburg, AZ, Apache Junction, AZ, and ultimately settled with their daughter Leslie in East Helena, MT.
As a Great Grandmother, Grandmother, Mother, Wife, Sister, and Friend “Moiny” was the best! Always thinking of others over herself. Everyone that knew Lemoin would describe her as, “always greeted you with a smile”, “listened and was interested in other’s families”, “remembered birthdays and anniversaries”. Lemoin loved all events with family and friends never caring about what the event was. She wished everyone to be truly happy and always did her part to make that happen. Lemoin will be truly missed by many.
