Ann-Elisa Wetherald Black of Vero Beach, FL and formerly of Grosse Pointe Farms, MI passed away peacefully at home on February 27, 2021.

Ann-Elisa was born on September 27, 1932 in Gloucester, MA and raised by Dorothy P. Wetherald in Swampscott, MA and later Brookline, MA.  She attended the Tower School and The Winsor School (1951).  Ann-Elisa graduated from Smith College in 1955.

Ann-Elisa married the love of her life, the late Dwight Priest Black, on June 18, 1954 and raised their three children Donald (Wanda), Lisa, and Pam in Grosse Pointe Farms, MI and Opelika, AL.  She is also survived by five grandchildren (Dylan, Gregory, Chelsea, Stan, and Henry) and two great grandchildren (Avery and Stuart).

Ann-Elisa enjoyed golf, sailing, travel, the Arts, and gardening.  She and Dwight were avid bridge players and competed in many tournaments together.  Their love of ballroom dancing led to a chance first meeting at a dinner dance in 1950 at the Cambridge Boat Club. Ann-Elisa was a member of the Garden Clubs of Grosse Pointe and Vero Beach, the Junior League, and a docent at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

In lieu of flowers, her family asks that you reach out to a loved one or friend whose day you can brighten.

A family memorial service will be held at a later date.

Arrangements are under the direction of Cox Gifford Seawinds, Vero Beach, FL
