LAKE WALES, Fla. — A. Louise Wetherington, 78, a resident of Lake Wales, Fla. and formerly of Casco, died on Thursday, April 7, 2011, in Lake Wales, Fla., following a long battle with cancer.

She was born on May 31, 1932, in South Portland, the daughter of Leroy and Mary (Stultz) Pratt. She graduated from Windham High School and University of Southern Maine.

In December of 1957, in Portland, she married Bruce C. Wetherington Sr. He passed away on Feb. 19, 2007.

Louise worked in the accounting department at National Semiconductor in Portland until her retirement. She and her husband moved to Florida in 2002. She was a loving and devoted wife, mother and grandmother and will be deeply missed by her family.

Her brothers would like to express their gratitude for being such a loving and caring sister and they will never forget what she did for them, helping to raise them when they were younger, due to their mother’s illness.

She is survived by four sons, Frank, Mark, Bruce II and Thomas Wetherington; three daughters, Janice Demillo, Vicki Wetherington and Tina Finley; 26 grandchildren; 23 great-grandchildren; four brothers, Wilfred J. Dionne, Marvin V. Dionne, Richard A. Dionne and Ron L. Dionne; and many nieces and nephews.
