My beautiful wife of Airborne Paul O Welch. Jr of the 82d Airborne Division a proud mother of her daughters Claire Argentina, Argentina, Cristel and her son Cristian. Lovely sister to her sisters Gladys, María Esther, her sisters, her brothers, lovely aunt to her nephews, and her nieces.

Argentina married Paul Jr. on May 26, 1995 in Arraijan City, Panama and they celebrated their 29th year of marriage on May 26, 2024. Adorable grandmother to her grandchildren Helen and Adam and mother-in-law to Anthony Shedrock and Herlem Flores .

Argentina attended grammar and middle school education at the Benigno Tomas Argote school in the city of Boquete and graduated from the Commercial Panamá high school in December 1978 in Panama City.

At an early age she dedicated herself to marketing and screen printing, of which she owned her own company. She loved traveling to her hometown of Boquete to be with her families, of whom they were very close, this very fertile area of coffee and of its flower fairs every January, summers in Panama.

A very fervent patriot, she acquired her US citizenship on January 18, 2006, from which she managed to work for the federal government as a civil service employee in the Department of Defense, at the Brooke Army Medical Center (BAMC) hospital in Fort Sam Houston from San Antonio Texas (JBSA) for more than ten years, very loved and esteemed by her co-workers and bosses, she achieved her 10-year civil service certificate in the Army and her civilian digital medal.

She served as a seamstress in the hospital (BAMC) in the logistics unit, one of the last 5 in the position she held in the entire armed forces (DOD).

Argentina had a regimen of daily walks as a rule with her dog Gary, whom she beat us to, and her Peanut, who was her inseparable companion with Claire for the afternoon walks. Her daughter Claire's inseparable companion at all times, spending as much time together as possible. She loved music and especially typical Panamanian music. In her social circle she had many friends of whom she was very loved and appreciated. She always had positive advice for everyone, happy, friendly and with a smile for everyone, her jokes that she always had for every moment.

She loved yard sales, sales in cities, especially in South Texas, very generous, she always gave away her things, whether for the church or anyone who needed help, tirelessly helping her family, whom she loved with all her heart, and it was her priority to always maintain a positive attitude, a faithful believer of Almighty God, Our Lord Jesus Christ and the Virgin Mary.

Our beautiful and beloved Argentina we will always remember you for your joy, your smile, your love for your neighbor, your children, family and your Paul and above all for God, the heavenly father.

Our love and affection for you always and eternal.

Paul O Welch. Jr
