(mcbeacon.com), [Woodsfield, Ohio]; 10 Oct 2018
Luada Elaine Cline Wesel, 87, of
Marietta died Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2018, in Marietta.
She was born March 5, 1931, in Wingett
Run to David Thomas Cline and Alice Elizabeth Wallenfelsz
Cline.
She graduated as the valedictorian of her class at Ludlow
Local High School and attended Ohio University. She was a proud member of the
Daughters of the American Revolution and volunteered for the Easter Seals
board. She was employed by the River Gas Company prior to becoming a full-time
homemaker. While working at the River Gas Company, she was elected as the
Marietta Regatta Queen.
Luada was Catholic by faith and will be deeply missed by
her loved ones, including seven children: daughter, Anne Keegan (Joseph); son,
Joseph Henry II (Kathryn), all of Marietta; daughter, Catherine Whelchel (Richard), of Spartanburg, South Carolina; son,
David (Marcy), of Marietta; daughter, Marilyn, of Silver Lake; son, Michael
(Teresa), of Brecksville; son, Richard (Ellen), of Los Angeles, California; 19
grandchildren: Jennifer Bird (Andy), Nathan, Benjamin and Megan Keegan; Joseph
Henry Wesel III (Kim); Evelyn, Steven, Jackson and Patricia Wesel; Erica Lehnert (J.D.); Catherine Adams; Andrew Adams; Alexander
and Olivia Wesel; Ethan and Jason Wesel; Kevin, Emily, and Andrew Wesel; four great-grandchildren: Joseph Henry

in 2016; daughter, Lisa Marie, in 2002; sisters-in-law, Marie Cline and Mary
Lou Wesel; and brothers-in-law, James Oppe and
Charles (Bill) Wesel.
Luada’s unique name was the
result of her mother’s dilemma in choosing to name her daughter after her
sister Lu or her sister Ada. Alice resolved this dilemma by combining the two,
naming her daughter Luada. Her true joy in life was
being the full-time mother to her eight children, raising them and tending to
their needs as they grew up on 6th Street in Marietta. For many years she
gladly served lunch to whoever would show up at “Lu’s Diner.” This included not
only her husband and adult children, but often other guests including employees
and salespeople working with the family businesses (Marietta Ignition, Marietta
Automotive Warehouse). Lu’s Diner was noted for both its delicious food and
plentiful quantity. Luada always played a significant
support role for her husband and her children, especially caring for her
injured daughter Lisa in the home for many years. She demonstrated an untiring
effort to help her family succeed by always being there for them, and providing
love and encouragement through any of life’s challenges.
Luada’s
family extends sincere thanks to Dr. Michael Brockett and Dr. Naresh Nayak for their compassionate care in assisting with her
health issues. Donations may be made to the Joseph and Luada
Wesel Family Foundation for Children of Washington County, Ohio or St. Mary
Basilica Maintenance Fund, both in care of Marietta Community Foundation.
Funeral Liturgy with Mass was Saturday, Oct. 6, 2018, at

Campbell celebrating. Burial followed in New St. Mary’s Cemetery. Visitation

went to her heavenly home.
For the

the start of her life she faced great challenges but was a true fighter.

She was
adored by her grandparents, Emma Williams and Kevin and Barb Ziegler; uncles
and aunts, Jacob and Bethany Williams and Kurk and
Amy Ziegler; cousins, great-grandparents and great-uncles and aunts. She had a
truly wonderful family. She loved to swim, swing, feel the wind, “shake,
shake,” read stories with her sisters, color, see animals, go to school and
sing.
