1465 Walter E. Cotter, age 104, of Woodland Road, Barrington, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, July 18, 2017. He was the husband of the late Elizabeth "Betty" M. (Martin) Cotter. Walter was always the dignified gentleman, whether in business, social engagements, golf or family matters. A person of moderation, he always had a job, and was often sought after for his dedication, trustworthiness and industry. He never hesitated to speak his mind, but always did so with grace and compassion.

Born in Providence, a son of the late William H. and Sadie (Barney) Cotter, Walter lived in Barrington since 1954. He graduated from South Kingstown High School, went to work in his hometown of Wakefield as a store clerk, then as a newspaper reporter, then as car dealership bookkeeper. He attended Georgetown University. He was a U.S. Navy veteran of World War II, where he developed a mail system for the Naval Post Office that succeeded his tenure in the Navy.

Mr. Cotter was hired by Aetna Casualty, where he acquired the enviable knack of tuning out the din of the office, while focusing on the matter of underwriting insurance. In 1956 he formed the insurance agency now known as Burns & Cotter, where he stayed active well into his retirement years. Walter enjoyed tennis, racing on a friend's S-boat, and watching his family grow. An avid golfer, he was a 60 year member of Rhode Island Country Club, where a recent plaque is named for him and his achievement of shooting his age at least once a year from the age of 79 to 91.

He is survived by a daughter, Elizabeth "Lisbeth" C. Herbst and her husband Dave of Bristol; two sons, Walter B. Cotter of Riverside and John M. Cotter and his wife Susan of Englewood, FL; a brother, Richard S. Cotter of Idaho Falls, ID; ten grandchildren and sixteen great-grandchildren. He was the brother of the late William H. Cotter, Jr. and Alice "Sis" Robinson.

Walter's firm handshake belied his gentleness. His confident stride belied his humility. His patient wisdom of stating, "There is no penalty for being early!" showed us that we were blessed to have his guidance. Now, in his passing, he is not early, but rather he seems to be right on time.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Tuesday, July 25, at 10:30 a.m. at St. Luke's Church, 108 Washington Road, Barrington. Relatives and friends are invited, and may visit with the family at the church on Tuesday from 9:00 -10:30 a.m. A private burial, with military honors, will be held at St. Francis Cemetery, Pawtucket. Please omit flowers. Contributions in his memory may be made to St. Luke's Church

1486 WELTY, Catherine "Kay" Catherine "Kay" Louise Bombarger Welty of Jacksonville, FL, passed away on July 25, 2014 at the age of 81after a 10 year struggle with Alzheimer's.
Kay was born on December 6, 1932 to the late Teckla Rivers and Elias Charles Bombarger in Winona, MN, where she spent her formative years and met her future husband, Alan Earl Welty. Kay was a devout Catholic and very proud of her Polish heritage. She graduated with honors from Winona High School in 1950 and briefly attended Winona State Teachers College. Kay and Alan were married in 1951, at which time Alan joined the Air Force. Kay spent the next four years giving birth to two sons, Michael and Christopher, while following Alan from one post to another including bases in Biloxi, MS, Warner Robbins, GA and Atlanta, GA. After being discharged from the service, they moved to St. Paul where Alan attended the University of Minnesota on the GI Bill at which time Kay gave birth to their daughter Theresa.
Upon graduating with a Master's Degree in Urban Planning, Alan accepted a job with the city of Atlanta in the planning department in 1959. While Alan focused on his career, Kay was kept busy raising 3 children, but always made time for playing bridge, bowling in the neighborhood league and performing volunteer work for underprivileged children. Except for a six year period, during which they lived in Manhattan, NY, they remained in Atlanta for most of their marriage, ultimately building a beautiful home on the Chattahoochee River and enjoying their boat, the "Terrie-Kay", on Lake Lanier. Once they became "empty nesters", Kay and Alan traveled extensively at home and abroad until cancer tragically claimed Alan in 1987 at the age of 54.
After Alan's death, Kay moved to Orlando, FL, to be near her son Christopher and her grandchildren. She spent the next several years traveling the country visiting family and friends as well as taking care of a house full of cats. She also made many new friends thru her active involvement in the local "T.O.P.S." group, from which she received several awards and honors. After being diagnosed with Alzheimer's in 2005, she moved to a beautiful, assisted living facility in Jacksonville to be near her son Michael and daughter Theresa.
During the last year of Kay's life a miracle occurred. Unknown to most of her family and friends, she and Alan had a son prior to getting married. Still living at home, in their last year of high school and no means of support, the young couple put the baby boy up for adoption in order to give him a better life than they could provide. Born in February of 1950 as Dwight Bombarger, he was later renamed Fred George Herczeg by his adoptive parents. Regretting their decision, Kay and Alan subsequently tried to find Fred, but records had been destroyed and there was no "internet". Thru a miraculous series of events, Kay and her first son Fred, were reunited after 63 years in September of 2013. Kay will be remembered as a loving, kind and generous soul by all who knew her. She was most proud of being a wife and mother who was tremendously devoted to the happiness of her family. Finally, she never recovered from losing her childhood sweetheart in the prime of their lives, but her death has liberated her from a terrible disease and has allowed Kay to join her "soul mate", Alan. She leaves behind four surviving children - her daughter, Theresa Kay of Jacksonville, FL - sons Fred George Herczeg and wife Mary Beth of South Bend, IN; Michael Alan and wife Barbara of Jacksonville, FL; Christopher John and wife Beth of Philadelphia, PA; and Christopher's two children Christopher John II and Alana Swann.
Kay's remains will be buried beside Alan's in a cemetery overlooking her beloved Winona, Minnesota where she had the fondest memories of family and friends. A memorial service honoring Kay will be held at her graveside (Woodlawn Cemetery, Winona, MN) on June 13, 2015 at 3:00 pm for family and friends. In lieu of flowers, gifts may be made to the (www.alzheimers.org) in her name. Condolences may be expressed to the family via email at kayweltyfamily@gmail.com.

1487 When Letha was 24 she ran away from home ending up in Denver, Colorado. There she worked as a cashier at a diner in the local train depot. (This is where she met Don). During this time she lived in an all-girl boarding house that had a curfew. But the gang would always stay out too late and Letha would have to sneak in at three or four in the morning. Her circle of friends started to pair up and get married. This is when Don and Letha thought, why not? So they promptly tied the knot. They were married on March 14, 1930. When a rowdy group of friends came to charivari them on their wedding night Don and Letha scurried up into the attic to hide.

Letha was unable to have children of her own. Together they adopted and raised Twanakay Leonard (Russell) and Terry Lee Russell. Letha also raised three of her ten grandchildren, Dody Buchanan, Camby Russell and Kimberly Davis (me!). We called her Mom, and we were raised as her children using her last name Russell. She truly was our mom, in fact she was mom to everyone that met her and they were family to her. Mom had the ability to bring people together, she was the glue in our lives.

Letha was born on December 21, 1906 in Burr Oak, Kansas to Oren Bruce Francis (Bruce)and Lelah Edna(Warren) Francis. Her grandparents (pioneers) moved to Kansas by covered wagon when it was still Indian territory. They lived first in dug outs adding sod houses to them later on. Her family was of sturdy stock, they worked hard and saved their money. When the family could they built wood framed homes. Letha's grandfather O.W. Francis built the finest house in Jewell County Kansas. It must be true because he had postcards printed out that said so. She was born and raised on a farm just to the north of Burr Oak, Kansas. Letha could garden, can foods, sew, knit, tat lace, crochet, repair furniture, walls and even plumbing in a pinch. She loved to document our lives and picture taking was a more then a hobby to her. Mom raised us knowing that she didn't raise quitters, She raised people that could.

Mom loved adventure and would often on a whim turn off to see a two-headed snake or an assortment of rare rocks. Once she drove hours out of her way to see the London Bridge in Arizona. She thought it was going to be a 20 minute drive however, someone had mixed up the road signs so it was more like two to three hours away, but we made it there.
As a girl it was a thrill for me to walk in the house after school and be greeted by Bing Crosby singing along with the smell something wonderful that she was putting together for supper. Mom was a wonderful cook , I have never met anyone that could match her home cooked meals.
Our grandfather Donald passed away February 8,1961 leaving Mom on her own with three small girls. Money was tight for her but we never knew it. She had that knack of knowing which toy was the most important to get at Christmas and how to make ends meet. She often sat up all night sewing new clothes for us, she even made our prom dresses.
In her life Mom attended Wesleyan College, worked as a housekeeper, cashier and became a licensed beautician. At the beginning of WWII Don and Letha moved to La Jolla, California with her brothers Dallas, Doyle, Vaughn and Verlin The men worked in a plane factory while mom stayed home and took care of the family. Later Grandma Francis joined them so mom could work at the factory also. However, if you asked her which job she loved the most she would say the one as a mother.

In her life Letha lived in Burr Oak,Kansas; Fullerton and Sidney, Nebraska; Springfield,Illinois; Denver,Colorado; Oregon; Boise, Idaho; La Jolla, Los Angeles, Pomona and finally Lompoc,California. She and her husband even owned a tobacco plantation in Fayette,Missouri back in the 30's.
Her life was lived for her children, especially her three girls Dody, Camby and Kimberly. She gave all she had to us and I miss her terribly.

[[Letha was proceeded in death by both of her parents and her husband Donald. She was joined by her son Terry; her daughter Twanakay. Her grandson Tony Russell of Las Vegas, Nevada. Her brothers Dallas Francis and his wife Mary of Fullerton, Nebraska; Doyle Francis and his wife Agnes of Elba, Nebraska; Vaughn Francis and his wife Edna of Fullerton, Nebraska. She is survived by her brother Verlin Francis and his wife Elaine of Wayne Nebraska. Seven grandchildren: Dody Gonzales and her husband Jessie of Wes Allis,WI; Camby Caracoza of Garden Grove,California; Kimberly Jankowski and her husband Richard of Lincoln,Nebraska; Parrish Leonard and his wife Kami of Brennen,Texas; Charri Jung and her husband T.J.of Florida; Shane Leonard of Texas; Terry Russell of Las Vegas, Nevada. Two Step grandchildren Rick Leonard and Tammy Hill (Leonard).Great,grand children: Ian Quandt; Sean Quandt; Deidra Frey; Sarah (Caracoza)& David Brunet; Barbara Marie(Bobbi Caracoza)& Tony Leonard; Robin Caracoza; Dakota Caracoza; Brandon Davis; Lauree Jankowski; Ashley Leonard; Shelby Leonard; Ryan Smith; Karen Smith; Amber Leonard; Tara Gurley; Larry Gurley; Joshua Collins; Leah Leonard; Lacey Leonard and Laine Leonard plus a myriad of great,great grand children.]]
