Welch, Arza Huff
Arza Huff Welch "God, Family, Country" The life of Arza Huff Welch drew to a
peaceful conclusion on May 30, 2005 in his home where he was tenderly embraced
by the love of his family. He touched our lives, and so many others for good
and emulated the love of our Savior. He embraced the gospel of Jesus Christ
and spent his life striving to live its principles and build the kingdom of
God through quiet service. Huff was loyal to his family and shared an
endearing love with his wife and eight children. Each felt important and
cherished and this feeling spread among all immediate and extended family
members as well as neighbors and friends. Our patriarch, he led his family
with virtue, kindness, and love unfeigned. A patriot, he valiantly served in
World War II and celebrated the fourth of July with special vigor; it being
the day of his birth (1921) as well as that of our country. Petros, a rock, he
stood for truth and righteousness and fervently prayed his descendants would
defend the faith he and his forefathers fought for so diligently. He honored
his priesthood faithfully completing church callings and blessing the lives of
his family, fellow church members, and any with whom he came in contact. And
Huff was our pal. He listened and laughed with us, cried with and comforted
us, and loved and cherished our dear mother Elaine, whom he married in the
Salt Lake Temple in August of 1946. Because of the eternal covenants that have
sealed them together for time and all eternity, we celebrate their love for us
and ours for them. Though the outstanding accomplishments of his life are
many, too many actually to be listed here, the most important thing we think
he would want to be remembered for is the kindness he showed and the testimony
he bore. He will be especially missed by his wife, Elaine Olson Welch;
children, Karen Welch Coleman (Reed), David Welch (Ronda), Winona Welch
Giddings (John), Vedel Welch (Jan), Charles Welch (Ina), Donna Welch, Ronald
Welch (Vicki), Sylvia Welch Sudeth (Mark); and his 25 grandchildren and eight
great-grandchildren. One great-granddaughter is already by his side. You are
invited to join our family in celebrating his life Friday night at the
Jenkins-Soffe Mortuary, 4760 So. State Street from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday
morning from 9:30-10:30 a.m. at the Belview Ward chapel, 6300 South 300 East.
Funeral Services will begin at 11 a.m. Interment will be in the Murray City
Cemetery. God be with you Dad (and with us) till we meet again.
