Ms. Lenore Wiedman Dudley, age 73, of Sheridan Avenue, Boone, and a former resident of Ashtabula, Ohio, died Wednesday, December 19, 2007 at home. Born November 17, 1934 in Ashtabula, Ohio, she was a daughter of the late Helen Danko and Charles Allen Wiedman. Lenore graduated from Ashtabula High School in 1952. She attained both a BA and MA and retired from Belk Library at Appalachian State University. Her love of animals and especially dogs, led her to serve many years on the Board of Directors for the Watauga Humane Society, in which she served in many capacities. At one time she had adopted dogs from the shelter. She enjoyed gourmet cooking and was a fan of TV cooking shows. Stricken with polio as an infant, she did not let her handicap affect her endeavors in education, library work or interest in protecting animals.
Surviving are her brother, Charles Wiedman and wife Dolores of Frisco, Texas, three nieces, two grand nieces, and one grand nephew.
A time of remembrance for Ms. Lenore Wiedman will be held Saturday afternoon from 1 until 3 o'clock at Austin & Barnes Funeral Home. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Watauga County Humane Society, in care of Jan Watson, 196 Paul Critcher Road, Boone, NC 28607.
