Treasure “Trey” McElhanon Welch
Birth 19 Jan 1922 Arkadelphia, Clark County, Arkansas, USA
Death 12 Aug 2016 (aged 94) Azle, Tarrant County, Texas
Burial Squaw Creek Cemetery, Rainbow, Somervell County, Texas
Treasure “Trey” McElhanon Welch, 94, passed away Friday, Aug. 12, 2016 in Azle.
Service: 3 p.m. Friday at Wiley Funeral Home in Glen Rose.
Interment: Squaw Creek Cemetery.
Trey was born Jan. 19, 1922 in Arkadelphia, Ark. to Ode and Lou McElhanon. She married Berley J. Welch on Dec. 30, 1939 in Marlow, Okla. She had lived with her husband in Glen Rose since 1991. Trey served faithfully all the churches her husband served in Texas, Georgia, Alabama and Missouri.
In Oct. 2011, Trey was bestowed, fittingly so, from the Governor of Texas, Rick Perry, an honorary “Yellow Rose of Texas Award.” It is the highest civil award that can be given to a woman in our state. Her state representative presented her with the award in a special ceremony on the grounds where she and her husband started the first youth camp for the Primitive Baptist Church in Texas. A Texas Landmark now permanently marks the property in Glen Rose, as such. As a family, we are very proud of Treasure. She always tried to make her life a Treasure to all those she touched.
Survivors: Daughters, Betty Fern Welch of San Antonio and Linda Trey Bowers and husband, Joe of Fort Worth; sons, Berl Roy Welch of Fort Worth and Jerl Ross Welch and wife, Anne of Rockwall; eight grandchildren; 12 great-grandchildren; sisters, Nadine Baxter and Jewel Lambert; and brother, Tom McElhanon.
