Peggy Lucielle Powell Welch was born July 29, 1926 in Kelly, La to the union of her parents, Stanley Powell and Cassie Lucielle Humphries Powell and passed from this life peacefully on November 6, 2024 in Citizens Medical Center. 

Peggy graduated Kelly High School in 1943. She loved her family and worshiped the ground them grandchildren and great-grandchildren walked on. She was always smiling and possibly was the sweetest soul you could've ever met. If you ever had the privilege to do something for her, no matter how big or small, she was going to give you something in return and you was gonna take it. She loved watching the Atlanta Braves, and had a hidden talent for making cat-head biscuits that her family loved. Peggy favorite thing to do was play the piano and had a true talent for it. Her daddy taught her to play piano at a young age as she couldn't read the music but could play anything she heard. Even though she will be missed here on earth, she is rejoicing in heaven, happy as can be.  

Peggy is preceded in death by her parents; husband of over 60 years, Roy Welch Jr.; her 3 siblings, Judy McKeithen, Rex Powell, and a infant brother; step-sister, Maxine Smith; and her sweet granddaughter, Cassie Taylor Martin. Those left to cherish her memory are her daughter, Phyllis Welch; step-sister, Nedra Hall; grandson, Colby Taylor (Lyndi); grandson-in-law, Brandon Martin; great-grandchildren, Slade Martin, Rheese Martin, Kayse Martin, Coltin Taylor, Ellie Taylor, Lessie Taylor, and Cady Ann Taylor.

Pallbearers include, Colby Taylor, Colton Taylor, Slade Martin, Kayse Martin, and Brandon Martin.
