Weatherby's is named in honor of the late Glenna B. Weatherby, a longtime Athens resident who volunteered in the gift shop from 1973 to 1986. Mrs. Weatherby staffed the gift shop four days a week for most of those years, serving more than 20,000 volunteer hours. She was the first recipient of the O'Bleness Memorial Hospital Volunteer of the Year award. A portrait of Mrs. Weatherby, created by local artist and former O'Bleness employee Lisa Wilson, is displayed in the hallway outside the shop.
Mrs. Weatherby was born in Lodi Township on Dec. 2, 1898. She was the daughter of the late Charles and Captolia McAfee Goldsberry. A graduate of Shade High School and Ohio University, she taught elementary school at Jacksonville, Albany, Shade and Morrison schools.
