Ella Ladd Weatherman, 96, passed away peacefully at home on May 10, 2021. She was a native of Wilkes County, but moved to Greensboro in the mid-1940’s. After first working in the textile industry, she studied cosmetology, and then operated her own beauty shop for almost forty years.
Ella was a loving wife and mother who always put her family first. When not working, she enjoyed keeping a tidy house and yard, tending to flowers, reading the Bible, listening to gospel music and caring for her family. She was a longtime member of Calvary Baptist Church, and later of Lindley Park Baptist Church.
Ella was preceded in death by her husband, Horace Weatherman; parents, James and Lily Ladd; sisters, Stella Shepard and Marie Weatherman; and brothers, Kermit, Claude, Judson and Charles Ladd. Surviving Ella are her son, Marshall Weatherman and brother, James Ladd, Jr.
