Susan Welfare Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
As a mother of three, grandmother of two, and great-grandmother of three, Susan was the heart of the Welfare family. She worked for many years as a tax preparation accountant as well as a home maker. Susan was known for her many quaint sayings such as "ignorance is bliss", "beggars can't be choosers" and "variety is the spice of life". She also was a lover of holidays, especially Christmas, and would adorn her home with holiday decorations and prepare scrumptious meals for her family. Susan loved her family very much and cherished time spent with them.
Susan is survived by her son, John and brother Peck Spach and was preceded in death by her daughter Lynn and other son, Hank. She had two granddaughters, Emily and Jamie and three great-granddaughters, Mila, Haven and Navy.
A service will be held at 1:00pm on May 22 at God's Acre in Winston-Salem, followed by a reception at Home Moravian Church.

She was a sweet woman. I enjoyed going to see her at the Pines. She always remembered me. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Aunt Susan and I enjoyed many martinis together. She would dress up for the drinks, because she said she would feel debased if not in correct attire. In fact the last time I visited her we spoke of our next martinis. But "don´t tell John!" she laughed her wonderful laugh. Uncle Peck made the best martinis btw!
I adored our dearest Aunt Susan
