Bloomfield

Betty Welch, 84, of Bloomfield New Mexico, passed away on December 16, 2024, after a long and fulfilling life. Betty was born on April 1, 1940, in Bozeman Montana. 

Betty married Ron in 1959, during their 65 years of marriage they had three sons: Randy, Jeff, and Paul. 

Betty had a deep passion for adventure. Throughout her life, she reveled in the joy of travel, often embarking on long road trips with her family in their trusty motorhome. The family spent countless summers creating lasting memories as they journeyed across the country, discovering new places, meeting new people, and relishing the beauty of the open road. 

At home, Betty found peace and fulfillment in her garden, where she nurtured a variety of plants that blossomed under her careful attention. Her love for the outdoors was matched by her vibrant enthusiasm for bowling, where she enjoyed friendly competition and camaraderie with fellow league members. A devoted member of her church, Betty spent many hours in Bible study, seeking wisdom and fostering a strong spiritual connection. Her love of quiet activities also extended to crafting, particularly when it was with her grandchildren.

 Above all, Betty cherished the companionship of her beloved cat, Misty, who was a constant source of comfort and affection in her home. Betty’s warm spirit, her love for family, and her zest for life will always be remembered by those who were fortunate to know her. 

Betty was preceded by her parents Leonard and Betty Callender, and her grandson Christopher Welch. 

She is survived by her children: Randy, Jeff, and Paul, their spouses Cathy, Cecilia, and Nita. Her grandchildren: Tiffany, Nicole & Grant, Justin, Diedra & Dustin, Leah & Jon, Miles & Karina, Josh & Brenna, Tyra, and Ryley, and great-grandchildren Dayton, Dempsey, Dawson, Jerica, Charlotte, Abbi, Luna, Juniper, Hazen, and Mason.
