WELCH, BETTY ANN (BROYLES) - age 69 (born December 5, 1939), of Knoxville passed away Sunday, June 28, 2009 at St. Mary''s Hospice after winning many hard fought battles with metastatic breast cancer. She has finally won the war and is in Heaven with our Heavenly Father. Betty was a member of Inskip Baptist Church. She retired from banking, work that she loved, in 2000, and served as a volunteer answering phones for the Children''s Miracle Network Telethons during the time she worked for Fidelity Federal and Union Planters banks. Survived by son, James L. Welch, II of Knoxville; daughters, Lori A. Hensley of Knoxville, Barbara (Ron) Wicks of Georgia, Kelly (Bill) Ogle of Knoxville; brothers Ken (Sue) Broyles, Gerald (Beverly) Broyles, Dale (Carolyn) Broyles, and Don (Lynelle) Broyles. Beloved grandchildren, Misty, Matthew, Terry, Tanya, Robyn, Joshua, Alyssa, Emily, Glenn, Tanya, and Nick; great grandchildren Alanna, Liam, Gavin, Kaitlyn, Zach, Acelyn, Kimberlenn, Zayne, Billie, Cheyanne, Seth, Ethan, Madison, Brnte, MaKensie and Savannah; many nieces and nephews who will miss their Nanaw/Aunt Betty. Her special relationship with all of her family gave her the will to live. Preceded in death by parents John and Alpha Broyles, sisters Shirley Broyles and Wanda Nichols, brothers Larry and Lynn Broyles. Betty set new records in metastatic breast cancer survival proving that faith and determination to live make all the difference, many times amazing her doctors, family and friends. Always concerned with others and their well being, she encouraged and inspired many new friends made at hospital bed sides, oncology units and therapy centers. Special thanks to Dr. Allan Grossman, Drs. King, Johnson, Nadaud and Loreno who never gave up on our precious mother and searched for new innovations to treat this insidious disease. Also, thank you to the St. Mary''s Hospice and special friends who are angels on earth to help the dying find their way from earth to Heaven.
