She was a pillar of the Cayton Community, where she and her husband owned and operated the Country Mart and Diner from 1963-1991. Following her retirement, she devoted her time and efforts to taking care of her grandchildren and great grandchildren, whom she loved dearly. She was a lifelong member of New Haven F.W.B.

"Little Joe" Wetherington of Winterville, Chris Wetherington (Tammy) and one daughter, Karen Wetherington, all of Cayton; six grandchildren, Meredith W. Taylor (Jonathan) of Ernul, Jacob (Amanda), Kristen, Ethan and Seth Wetherington and Heather Garris, all of Cayton; three great grandsons, Noah, Charlee and "Little" Johnny. She is also survived by two brothers, Mike Watts (Louise) of Cayton, and Kenny Watts (Frances) of Clarkton.
