Sally A. Welsh, age 89, of Erie, passed away Thursday, October 9, 2025. She was born in Erie on October 7, 1936, daughter of the late Peter and Sally Celeski.
Sally was a graduate of East High School and worked at General Electric for several years. She and her late husband, Pete, were avid golfers at Lawrence Park Golf Club for many years, where they made many friends. Sally enjoyed watching sports and was a big fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers, rarely missing a game. She was a member of Our Lady of Mount Carmel Roman Catholic Church. Gram, as her three granddaughters called her, enjoyed every moment spent with them and loved their suggestions for the best hair and makeup products.
Sally is survived by her son, Derrick Welsh (Angela); one sister, Elaine Berlin (Ken); two brothers, John Celeski (Lana) and Ronald Celeski; three grandchildren, Leah, McKenna and Erika Welsh; and nephews.
Friends are invited to attend a Funeral Mass on Friday, October 17 at 10 am at Our Lady of Mt. Carmel R. C. Church, 1553 E. Grandview Blvd. Interment will follow at Wintergreen Gorge Cemetery.
