Miss Wiegand was such a wonderful teacher and person, I was a student at DeQueen in the 1960's and she meant so much to me. She cared so much for us kids and did her best to help us grow up in the right direction. I am saddened to hear of her passing, I owe her many things of which I could never repay. Rest in peace Miss Wiegand, I have never forgotten what you did for me.
She was an awesome P.E. teacher who always made everything fun! God bless her and her legacy! Rest in peace...❤️
Loved this lady! She was my PE teacher at DeQueen.
We did the physical fitness test, played kickball, square dancing and all kinds of other great things. Ms Wiegand made it so much fun. I can see her in her Bermuda shorts, tennis shoes and polo shirt with her whistle around her neck coming down the hall. Great teacher. Condolences to her family.
I met Lela when I taught at DeQueen School. I always had so much respect for her. She was efficient, always prompt, and extremely well organized. She never asked children to do anything that she did not do with them. She was wonderful to work with and a delight to be around.
I remember meeting Lela when I came to PAISD to teach. She was a great teacher. I always liked her and am sorry to hear of her passing. Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted.
My deepest condolences to the Wiegand family. May Lela Mae memory always be for a blessing to you all.
