Wehrley, Ann (Barga
George)
Wehrley, Ann (Barga George), age 84, of Greenville, OH, formerly of
Versailles, OH passed away on Saturday, March 2, 2013. Ann was
born July 17, 1928 at the family homestead near Brock, the fifth child
of Art and Carrie (Schwartz) Barga. A graduate of Versailles
schools, she married James P. George (who preceded her in death) and
together they owned and operated Frenchie’s Restaurant in Versailles
until 1980. Ann moved to Greenville where she met and married Tim
Wehrley. She continued to work in the food and beverage business
until age 80, next transferring her energy and enthusiasm to the Darke
County Community Action Partnership where she volunteered. In February
2012 she received the Outstanding Senior Citizen of the Year
award. It was said that “Ann has a warm welcome smile to everyone
that visits the clothing bank. No one leaves without having made
a friend through Ann Wehrley…. Ann’s energy, bubbling personality and
happy demeanor brings a smile to the saddest of folks and melts the
hardest of hearts.” She retired from the clothing bank in
December 2012, but continued to happily carry her 20lb handbag which
contained a hammer, screwdriver, and shot glass among other things!
In addition to her parents and first husband, she was preceded in death
by her brothers Marvin, Richard, and Nelson Barga. She is
survived by husband Tim Wehrley; son Thomas J. (Tara) George of Troy;
step daughters, Christine Roberts and family of Margate, FL., Jill
DeVon and family of Lafayette, IN, and Madalyn Wehrley of Parrish, FL.;
grandchildren, J. Tyler George of Troy, and Kathryn K. (Chris) Edwards
and great granddaughter Georgie G. Edwards of Charleston, SC; brothers
Norman (Edna) of Union City, IN; Thomas (Mary Lou) of Vandalia; sisters
in law Eileen and Susie Barga both of Versailles.
A gathering will be held on Tuesday, March 5, 2013 from 4-7 PM at
