The daughter of Delmar Claid Weger and Clara Ruth (Dunlap) Weger was born July 16, 1945, in Flat Rock, IL. On Aug. 6, 1987, she married Michael Karl Cartwright in Claremore. All her life she loved animals and was in the dog grooming business for years. She had a horse named Shaleak that thought it was a dog. At home it would walk behind her and go everwhere she did. Over the years she had many dogs, cats, birds and even a frog. She loved westerns on TV and when she got the name "Cartwright" she watched many Bonanza shows. She enjoyed helping her husband with his popcorn truck for many years at the Pawnee Steam Engine Show and gave a lot of popcorn away for free. She also enjoyed going to the casinos and playing slot machines.

Mondie was preceded in death by son, Matt Robertson.
