Amonell Welter

Amonell Welter, daughter of the late August and Pauline Elizabeth Schwach Martin, was born May 2, 1925, in Blomeyer, Missouri, and departed this life, surrounded by her daughters, Saturday, June 3, 2023, at her home in Jackson at the age of 98 years.

She was a homemaker, and for more than 50 years and was a member of Guardian Angel Catholic Church in Oran, Missouri, where she served on the St. Ann Sodality. Amonell was a Woman of the Year for the KCettes, and worked at all of the Oran Fourth of July picnics. She became a member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Jackson in 2013, after her move to be closer to family.

On July 3, 1948, she was united in marriage to Elmer J. Welter. They had almost made it to their 50th anniversary, when he preceded her in death Feb. 24, 1998.

Survivors include three daughters, Janell (Ennis William II) Hinkebein and Janay Berry, both of Jackson, and Janice (Jeff) Noser of St. Louis; nine grandchildren, Shawn Hinkebein, Casey Hinkebein, Karly Hinkebein, Lance (Amanda) Berry, Logan Berry, Lindsay Berry, Amy (Jonny) Higgins, Sarah Noser and Rachel Noser; five great-grandchildren, Deo Hinkebein, Jude Hinkebein, Cael Berry, Sam Berry and Gemma Higgins; and a host of other relatives and friends.

Besides her husband and parents, Amonell was preceded in death by a sister, Dora Dirnberger, and two brothers, Ben and Edward "Bud" Martin.

Visitation, parish prayers, rosary and a special presentation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, June 6, at Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Oran. Parish prayers will begin at 4 p.m. and the rosary at 7 p.m. The rosary will be followed by a "Remembering Mom with Gratitude" presentation.

Funeral Mass will be at 10 a.m. Wednesday, June 7, at Guardian Angel Catholic Church in Oran, with the Rev. Joseph Kelly presiding and the Rev. Randolph Tochtrop con-celebrating. Interment will follow in the church cemetery.

The family would especially like to thank the staff of Southeast Hospice — including Bob, Brett, Erin, Ginger, Jessica, Lisa, Monica, Pam and Teresa — for their kind and compassionate care the last seven months. The family is also grateful to the Rev. Randolph Tochtrop and Kenny Loos for bringing the precious gift of the Holy Eucharist to Mom every Thursday.

Donations in her memory may be made to the Guardian Angel Endowment Fund or Immaculate Conception Building Fund, or the gift of a Mass at your favorite parish.
