Anne Weathers, avid Democrat, reader, gardener
Anne Elizabeth Darke Weathers had an interest in politics that she nurtured over a lifetime of reading and public service.
Mrs. Weathers, of Lakeside Park and formerly of Elkton in western Kentucky, died Saturday at the Village Care Center in Erlanger.
She was 87.
"She took a lively interest in the public arena, " said her son, William M. Weathers Jr. of Lakeside Park, a former Post reporter and editor. "Politics was a constant family topic, and her father served as a representative in the Tennessee legislature."
A native of Todd County, Mrs. Weathers grew up in Tennessee and Georgia. She worked in a variety of public positions, including treasurer of Todd County, bookkeeper for the city of Elkton, and secretary of Todd County Central High School.
"She was as solid a Roosevelt Democrat as it was possible to be and once walked through a police barrier to hear FDR (in Bowling Green, Ky.), " Mr. Weathers said. "She was one of those wives who, when her husband was overseas, took heart from President Roosevelt's leadership."
Mrs. Weathers was active in her church, Petrie Memorial United Methodist Church in Elkton, for more than 60 years. Several years ago, she took part in a movement to restore Elkton's landmark Milliken Memorial Community House.
She was an avid reader and gardener. Her son said he inherited his mother's love of the written word.
