Welcome was always a very caring and compassionate soul which showed through her work of caregiving within the assisted living community. She had a love for many things throughout her short time here with us. She loved bonfires, and trips to the river were a must, any time she could spend there, she would. She had a love for music and singing karaoke. She was greatly known for her made from scratch meals, specifically her cherry pie. Above all her greatest love was her family. She filled her heart with the memories made with them, especially her grandchildren.
