A lifetime member of Daughters of the Nile, serving as Queen as well as appointed Supreme Escort to the Temple Banner while never missing the annual Great Lakes Unit Meet. 3. Ladies Oriental Shrine serving as High Priestess and a founding member of the Clown Unit. 4. She also served as a Mother Advisor to the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls. And she will always be remembered as the clown Lil Picn. Her active participation in these organizations meant a lot to her and as a member commented, "She was loved by all for her ethics, friendships, and most of all, her sense of humor. " Welda was born in Detroit to Edwin Charles Gorlitz and Sophie Meinke Gorlitz. She is survived by her brother Alvord Gorlitz and predeceased by her sisters Beverly Gorlitz Hoenicke and Pearl Gorlitz. Welda buried two husbands, Samuel Cole and Daniel Felber.
