Peggy J. Welty

Peggy J. Welty, a beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully in her Warsaw home on December 13, 2024, at the age of 86, surrounded by her loving family. Born on January 22, 1938, to George and Mary Watkins, Peggy led a life filled with joy, laughter, and an unwavering commitment to her family. 

Known for her great sense of humor and her love for life, Peggy had a remarkable gift for remembering details about people and making each interaction memorable. A proud graduate of Leesburg High School, class of 1956. Peggy instilled the values of hard work and compassion in her children, Peggy dedicated over 20 years of her professional life as a waitress at Stacy's restaurant, where her sassy and feisty personality shone through. She worked tirelessly not only to provide for her family but also to ensure that everyone she met left with a smile. Her outgoing nature and respect for differing opinions endeared her to many. She brought joy to those around her, often lightening the mood with her sharp wit and playful language, especially for her grandchildren, who adored her.

Among her many interests, Peggy found joy in golfing at Max Welton and bowling. She cherished her time spent outdoors, particularly sitting in her gazebo or mowing the lawn on her riding mower. Every winter, she transformed her life at the Tri-Par Estates in Sarasota, where she and her family participated in the lively golf cart parade, a highlight of her snowbird season.

Peggy leaves behind her children, Donnie (Mary Lee) Hepler, Sue Ann Timmons, and Kelly (Alan) Abrams; her cherished grandchildren, Steven Hepler, Amber Hepler, Carrie Timmons, Ashley (Shawn) Black, Rachelle (Sam Wiesenberg) Abrams, and Zoe Abrams; and her great-grandchildren, Anthony, Hayley, Dylan, McKenna, Katie, and Gracie. She was preceded in death by her husband, Lowell, grandson, Matthew Abrams, and her brothers, Donald and James Watkins.

Titus Funeral Home and Cremation Services is entrusted with Peggy's care. The family is grieving privately; no services are planned. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to the Animal Welfare League in Peggy's memory.
