It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Louise Ann Weatherford, age 91, of Burton, Michigan, who peacefully left us on Thursday, September 10, 2026.
Born on August 5, 1935, in Quincy, Illinois, Louise was the daughter of the late Walter and Mildred (Hamilton) Woodworth. Throughout her life, she found joy in many pursuits. An avid Detroit Tigers fan, she took delight in bowling, playing card games with family and friends, playing bingo, and engaging in the strategic battles of Scrabble. She immensely enjoyed spending her winters on Lake Havasu. Louise also loved to crochet and enjoyed the excitement of the casino, but it was the time spent with her family and the laughter they shared that truly defined her spirit.
Louise was a beloved mother to her children, Dewaine Baldwin, Loretta (Steve) Becker, and Randy Baldwin (Debbie) Bunker. She was an adored grandmother to four grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren. She shared a special bond with her brother, Claude (Jackie) Woodworth of Chillicothe, Mo.
She was cherished by many and will be dearly missed. Louise was preceded in death by her parents, her husband Hilery Weatherford, her great-grandson Christopher Bates, her granddaughter Carla Keel, and eight siblings. The family would like to send a special thank you to Tammie, Rick and Marsha you are appreciated.
A visitation for Louise will be held on Thursday, September 17, 2026, from 5 PM to 8 PM at Brown Funeral Home, located at 1480 E. Hill Road, Grand Blanc, Michigan. The funeral service will take place on Friday, September 18, 2026, at Brown Funeral Home with visitation one hour prior to the service, beginning at 11 AM and following with the funeral service at noon.
