Besides her parents, survivors include her beloved son, Zachary Welsh; and granddaughter, Cambria Alexis Baker, both of Fredericksburg, Va.; a sister, Sara (Tyler) Gingery, of Sarasota, Fla.; a sister, Samantha (Victor) Ferruolo, of Pittsburgh; and her two favorite nephews, Andrew and Nathan Ferruolo.
