Margaret Dew Obituary
On April 23, 1933, Margaret Sue was born to Marvin and Vera Welch in Levelland, TX. She graduated from Lubbock High School in 1950 and married in 1951. She worked for Retail Merchants, The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal, and the Lubbock Independent School district, but her most important job was being a mother. There was never a moment when her children doubted, that they were the most important people in her life. Her capacity to love was endless and extended to her nieces, nephews & countless friends. If her children loved you, she automatically loved you too. A strong faith was instilled in her at a young age and was the foundation for her life.
Survivors include her son, Christopher Dew, of Lubbock; and sister, Gaye Welch Blackledge of Lubbock.
She was preceded in death by her father, Marvin Welch; mother, Vera Welch; daughter, Gayla Suzanne Dew; and brother, Forrest Welch.

I was sorry to hear about Aunt Sue. It helps to know she is in a better place, but we will miss her.
