May Welton, beloved Mom and Grandma passed
away March 25, 2013 at the Wray Community
Hospital.
Nettie May was born June 15, 1929 to Charles
and Hattie Gorbet on the Brown farm North of
Wray. She spent her childhood in California
and graduated from Gardena High School in
Gardena, California, before moving to a farm
East of Laird with her parents.
In 1951 Nettie May married Troil Welton and
became not only a bride but a Mom to Helen
13 and David 10. She remained at the
Wheatridge Farm until 1995 when she and
Troil moved to a home in Wray, Colorado.

, but was very active in Welton’s Auction
Service, Dry Willow Healthy Livestock 4-H

she could be described as a very loving ad
caring person. To her family she could be
described as the best Mom and Grandma anyone
could possibly have. She loved her kids and
grandkids as much as any real Mother could
and we were all very blessed she chose us.
She was preceded in death by her parents
Charles and Hattie Gorbet, her husband Troil,
her daughter Helen Wilson, granddaughter
Pamala Stone, and great granddaughter Laura
Cunningham.
