Rodah Welch
September 2, 1915 — April 27, 2010
Rodah Grace (Elliott) Welch, age 94, died on April 27, 2010 at the Scott & White Hospital in Round Rock, Texas.
Rodah was born on September 2, 1915 in Fairmount, Indiana. After completing high school in Spiceland, Indiana, she worked several years at a Woolworth’s Store in New Castle, Indiana to save money for college. Then she attended Taylor University in Upland, Indiana, where she received her B.A.degree in biology in 1941.
Rodah met her husband, L. Marshall Welch, at Taylor University, and they were married on June 7, 1942. Marshall died last year. Rodah is survived by her two children, Rock E. Welch of Colorado Springs, CO and John M. Welch of Austin, TX. She is also survived by two grandchildren, Jeffery M. Welch of Durham, North Carolina and Elizabeth J. Welch of San Francisco, and three great grandchildren (Alex, Eli, and Calvin in Durham). She is further survived by a nephew and several nieces in Ohio who are children of her predeceased brother, Nixon S. Elliott.
Rodah was a homemaker who raised her family in Seabrook, Texas while her husband worked as the Director of Research for the Petro-Tex Chemical Company in Houston. Upon retirement, Rodah and her husband designed and built a home in Sedona, Arizona where they lived 15 years before returning to Texas and settling in Sun City, Georgetown. Rodah had a special passion for flowers, was a national flower show judge and was a member of garden clubs in several communities.
A woman of deep faith, Rodah supported a number of missionary groups and churches, as well as participating in Christian Women’s Clubs wherever she lived. She helped to restore the windows in her home church, the Spiceland Friends Church, and she designed and donated a window for the Worship Place in Georgetown where she and Marshall were active in their later years.
A memorial service will be held at the Wesleyan at Estrella, 139 Estrella Crossing, Georgetown, TX on Saturday, June 26, 2010 at 1 PM. Inurnment of ashes will be at the Circle Grove Cemetery in Spiceland, Indiana. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorial contributions be made to Wesleyan Homes in Georgetown, Texas.
Local arrangements are entrusted to Hinsey-Brown Funeral Service in New Castle.
