Kathleen Marie “Kathy” Welch, age 61 of DuBois, PA died Tuesday, February 14, 2023 at her home surrounded by her family.

 
Born on May 26, 1961 in Erie, PA , she was the daughter of the late Norbert J. Walczak and Clara Giulianelli Walczak.


She grew up in Erie where she attended high school at St. Benedict Academy.  Following high school, she went on to graduate from Gannon University where she met her future husband, Edward L. Welch Jr. 


Kathy and Ed were married in Erie, PA on September 21, 1985. 


In her professional life, Kathy worked as a legal secretary and was employed at Quinn Law Firm in Erie, PA, Maryland National Bank in Baltimore, MD, and Hopkins Heltzel Law Firm in DuBois, PA. 


It was in DuBois that Kathy and Ed eventually settled and raised their two children Andrew and Alexander. 


Kathy was a member of St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church and was an active volunteer at church festivals and DuBois Central Catholic where her children attended. 


Kathy was a passionate fan of Penn State football, enjoyed camping at Cook Forest State Park, soaking up the sun in the Outer Banks of North Carolina, and indulging in a good cup of she-crab soup.  Above all else, she loved her family deeply and was at her happiest when she was gathered with her husband, children, and grandchildren. 


She is survived by her husband Ed; son and daughter in law Andrew and Marla Welch; granddaughters Laura, Sophie, Rosalie, and Stella Welch; son and daughter in law Alex Welch and Alissa Agnew; and siblings David Walczak, Barbara Lieb and her husband Ted, Donald Walczak, and Christopher Walczak. 


Kathy will be remembered as a wife, mother, grandmother, sister, and close friend.  Those who were blessed to have known her will know that she loved fiercely and unconditionally.  Kathy will be dearly missed but her legacy and the lessons that she taught will live on in the hearts of all the lives she touched. 


Visitation will be held on Friday, February 17, 2023 from 4 – 7 PM at the Baronick Funeral Home and Crematorium, Inc.


A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Saturday, February 18, 2023 at 10 AM from St. Michael the Archangel Roman Catholic Church with Father Edward Walk as celebrant.


Burial will take place in St. Michael Cemetery.
