Linda C. Welsh of Philadelphia, PA, died peacefully on Friday, February 26, 2021, at Aristacare at Meadow Springs in Plymouth Meeting, PA, surrounded by her children, brother, and sister-in-law. She was 71.
Born in Philadelphia, PA, she was the daughter of the late George E. and Martha C. Tesche Mims; mother of the late Kellyanne Welsh, who died as an infant; and sister of the late George Mims.
Linda lived in the Lawndale section of Philadelphia for 35 years. She was born and raised in Germantown, and attended Immaculate Conception and later Cardinal Dougherty High School. Her love for children was evident by her decades spent as a beloved child care provider. She also had a special interest in lighthouses and enjoyed displaying them throughout her home. Linda enjoyed the special times spent with her children and grandchildren and will be remembered and sadly missed as a loving mother and devoted “Mimsy.”
She is survived by her four children, William F. Welsh and his wife, Beth, of Media, PA; Kathleen A. Degnan and her husband, Brian, of Swarthmore, PA; Michael G. Welsh and his wife, Virginia, of Phoenixville, PA; and Megan E. Welsh of Oreland, PA; and her seven grandchildren, Jack, Emma, Ella, Sophia, Lily, Danny, and Mae.
