Angela Welch Obituary
Angela Anne Welch, 59, of Camdenton, Missouri, passed away on October 22, 2026, leaving behind a lifetime of cherished memories and a whole lot of love. Though her time here was short, the love she shared, the lives she touched, and the memories she created will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.
Angela was born on June 29, 1967, in Topeka, Kansas, to Glenn and Jane (Snook) Criqui. She was a loving wife, devoted mother and grandmother, and a caring soul who found happiness in the simple joys of life and, above all, in the people she loved most.
On September 17, 2005, Angela married the love of her life, Stephen Welch. Together, they shared 21 years of love, companionship, and memories. Their life together was a special part of Angela’s story, and the love they shared will remain a treasured part of her family’s memories.
Angela loved her work as a cosmetologist, where she had the opportunity to share her talents and connect with others. She was a selfless person who took great pride in caring for her family, always putting the needs of those she loved before her own. Her heart had a special place for animals, and she found peace and happiness in gardening, tending to her plants, and watching flowers bloom. These simple pleasures reflected the beauty and kindness she carried within her.
Above all, Angela’s greatest joy was her family. She gave her love freely and cared deeply for those closest to her. She will be remembered for the love she gave, the care she showed, and the many special moments that became treasured memories. While her absence leaves an immeasurable void, the love she planted in the hearts of her family and friends will continue to grow for generations to come.
Angela is survived by her beloved husband, Stephen Welch; her children, Ashlie Estes (Chris), Joshua McGhee (Jennifer), Jessica Heiman (Tyler), Stephen Welch (Sasha), and Chris Welch (Jessica); several grandchildren and great-grandchildren; her brother, Cory Criqui; several nieces and nephews; other relatives; and many dear friends who will miss her deeply.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Glenn and Jane Criqui.
A private celebration of life will be held at a later date.
Arrangements are under the direction of Hedges-Scott-Millard Funeral Homes, 1270 S. Business Route 5, Camdenton, MO 65020, (573) 346-2090.
