Rebecca Frances Welch

Rebecca was a fixture of First Baptist Church Arlington and her church’s women’s group where she was very loved. She would donated money, can goods, and periodically her time to Mission Arlington. Everyone that knew her was aware of her love for the Texas Rangers. It was an unspoken rule that people were not to disturb her during the games. If you were to call her during that time, she would tell you “The Rangers are playing.” before she would hang up the phone. Rebecca also loved to read, but nothing brought her more joy than spending time with her family.

Rebecca is survived by her daughter Melva June Welch Petrik and husband Louis C. Petrik, daughter Shirley Louise Welch Hinchliffe, grandchildren Louis C. Petrik, Jr. and wife Elizabeth Lynn, Stephen Dwayne Petrik and wife Sonja, Jeremy Alan Petrik and wife Rejeana, Windy Ann Gandy, Jack Charles Gandy and wife Bobbie, Misty Michelle McBride and husband Carlus, and Rebecca Dawn Stewart. She is also survived by 23 great grandchildren, 4 great great grandchildren, and many other family members and numerous friends.

If you desire, in lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made in honor of Rebecca to Mission Arlington.
