She is survived by brothers Raymond Leroy Welsh (Louisville), Robert Coleman Welsh (Canton), one sister, Thressa Irene (Welsh) Haidet (Beloit), also brother Paul Herold Welsh, (Louisville), deceased, as well as many friends, nieces, nephews and cousins. Two people she cherished are Mary Milzheimer and Nora Penrod. Betty's true and everlasting loves were her cats, "Sweet Pea" (deceased) and Hazel.
Betty loved traveling and lived in many different places including Las Vegas, Nevada; Florida and Los Angeles, California where she worked for Sears and Roebuck, Inc. and rose to the position of District Supervisor before retiring and returning to the Stark County area. She made many friends over her years and later attended Adult Day Care at St. Joe's and Sera Care where she enjoyed crafting, coloring, singing and playing games. She attended the New Covenant Church in Canton, Pastor Ron Mayle and her church brothers and sisters were a very important part of Betty's life. Talking about finding Jesus, her family, and receiving photographs made her very happy.
