Elaine Woodworth Welch Derry, 89, a lifelong resident of the Northeast Kingdom, died on Wednesday, July 27, surrounded by her family at the Maple Lane Nursing Home in Barton.
Born January 4, 1922, in St. Johnsbury, she was a daughter of Lyle S. and Ruby D. (Bowden) Woodworth.
Mrs. Derry graduated from Lyndon Institute, Class of 1940. She married Laurence S. Welch in December 1944. She met him while taking flying lessons. To this union, three children were born. She and Mr. Welch later divorced. She married Gerald E. Derry on October 28, 1968. He predeceased her on June 4, 2006.

She frequently spoke of Sandy, a quarter horse she owned many years ago. An artistic person, Mrs. Derry was often called upon to design and paint posters for community events. She was a strict grammarian who insisted her children learn often-overlooked subtleties of English language usage, including the proper verb tense and the difference between subjective and objective pronoun forms. She was an enthusiastic and very competent proofreader, and she delighted in both the discovery of the occasional double entendre and in the creation of her own.
