A story of love and tragedy
Chester and Mildred Welebob gave much to others. Their homicide/suicide leaves a void in the hearts of friends.

A husband and wife who were victims of a homicide/suicide Friday and Saturday were well-respected in their town and are fondly remembered, according to friends who knew them for many years.
Chester Welebob had served as a township councilman for 20 years, and his wife, Mildred, was a well-loved nursery school teacher before she retired.
“They both cared for each other a lot. They did a lot of things all over town over the years. It’s so sad, so tragic,” said John Quinn, a former township councilman whose father was Chester’s basketball coach in high school.
Wilkes-Barre police on Friday night found 82-year-old Mildred Welebob, a resident of St. Luke’s Villa, in a wheelchair behind a vehicle at the rear of the facility’s parking lot on East Northampton Street. Acting Luzerne County Coroner Bill Lisman said she died of a single gunshot wound, with the cause of death ruled homicide.
A short time later, Chester Welebob, of Wilkes-Barre Township, was found dead inside his car in Wilkes-Barre Township. He was pronounced dead of a single gunshot wound at 12:15 a.m. Saturday, Lisman said, with the cause of death ruled suicide.
