Miss V. was no doubt the Matriarch of the Welty family. A no nonsense woman who loved her family. She knew right from wrong. She cheered everyone on and wanted nothing but good for all. A true Christian woman who believed in her faith. She is now with Big W. ; Her Ronald. Prays of peace and comfort to all of the of the Welty family. God Bless.
