Rosa Lee Welsh, 78, of Woodmont Drive, South Bend, passed away at 3:00 a.m. Monday, April 25th, in Saint Joseph Regional Medical Center, Mishawaka. Lee was born on Dec. 17, 1926, in Warren, IN, to Charles and Ruby (Trusler) Good. She was preceded in death by her parents.

Lee worked for L.S. Ayers for 23 years before retiring. She was a loving mother, grandmother and friend. Her personality and nature of unconditional kindness and friendship caused all with whom she interacted to care for and respect her. Those who were closest to her knew a rare experience of love.
