Ann Elizabeth Welch
April 29, 1935 - April 19, 2016
Ann Elizabeth Welch, beloved aunt, sister, neighbor, and friend, passed away peacefully in her home on April 19, 2016. She was 80 years old. Ms. Welch enjoyed a 43 year career at the Corporate State Farm offices in Bloomington, where she was in the Purchasing Department. Ever active, she played slow-pitch softball, bowled regularly in leagues, was an avid Cardinals baseball fan, and enjoyed travelling to watch the ISU Lady Redbirds play basketball. One of her greatest joys was her love of travel, most particularly to Colorado and Wyoming to see her family. Born on April 29, 1935, in Ramsey, IL, she was the daughter of Jesse Welch and Carmen Adams. She was preceded in death by her parents, two brothers, Robert and John, and a sister, Margaret (Margie Mills). She leaves behind two sisters, Bessie O’ Dell of Greeley, CO, and Donna Hames of Vandalia, IL, as well as many cherished nieces, nephews, great nieces, great nephews, and two very dear friends, Jean Davison and Carol Prochnow, of Bloomington. Arrangements are incomplete. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Guardian Angels Elder Care, Inc, or the Trinity Lutheran Church of Bloomington Illinois.
