Jerry Welton

Jerry Earl Welton, of Benton, went to be with the Lord Sunday, Oct. 27, 2013, at the age of 79. He was born Jan. 10, 1934 in Pottsville, Ark. God gifted him with strength of character and a personality that drew love as well as admiration of all whose lives he touched. His surviving wife, Barbara Ann and his brother, Ronnie, are among those who first knew this wonderful man. Affectionately known as Daddy by his children and Papa by his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He is the adored member of our family who always put God first, his family second and himself last. Through Jerry's work in church, schools, the Gideon's and his life-long profession in the car business, he left the testimony of his faith on many. There will be a private family memorial held in his honor. Thank you to all the many friends who have loved him during his time on earth. A special thanks to Hospice and we ask that in lieu of flowers that you send your memorials to: Saline Memorial Hospice House at 23157 Hwy I-30 S. in Bryant, Ark. 72022.
