Betty Marie Hileman was born May 5, 1937, in Covington, Oklahoma, to James Elmer and Eva Belle (Dillion) Hileman… Graveside service for Betty Welch will be Monday, October 25, 2021, at 10:30 a.m. at Good Hope Cemetery…
In the fall of 1955 she started college at Oklahoma State University and lived in Willard Hall. In January of 1956 she agreed to go on a double date to a drive-in movie in Stillwater but there was a problem, her friend's date, some guy named Harold Welch, would not take his eyes off her and flirted with her the whole night. Ironically, over the next month she would see Harold around campus very frequently. Harold set up a date with Betty through his cousin, Patty, who also lived in Willard Hall in February of 1956 and the two have been inseparable ever since.
After the wedding Harold and Betty accepted teaching positions in the Oklahoma City School District and during 1959 and 1972 Betty taught at four different elementary schools there… The year 1967 was eventful as her first son, Michael Todd Welch, was born on June 13th. On April 10th, 1971, Betty gave birth to her second son, Brian Scott Welch. Being raised in small western Oklahoma towns with limited access, Harold and Betty appreciated the amenities Oklahoma City offered, but as the Vietnam war ended and certain political events unfolded in the country, they began to fear raising their children in a large city… In May of 1972 Harold and Betty accepted teaching positions at the Helena State Training School for Boys.
"Unselfish" is the best adjective to describe Betty's personality. If you met her or came to her house everything was about you, never her. The selfless sacrifices that she made throughout her life for her family…
She's preceded in death by her mother and father, James and Eva Hileman; her four brothers, Jim, Glenn, Buster and Bob; her grandson, Briggs Griffin Welch.
She is survived by her husband of 62 years, Harold Vic Welch; her son, Michael Todd Welch and his wife, Linda, and grandson, Mark Todd Welch, of Enid, Oklahoma; her son, Brian Scott Welch and wife, Katelyn…
