ObituaryMay 9, 2017Theodora (Teddy) Haughton passed away on December 5, 2016 at age 96 in Westfield, MA. She was the daughter of Mabel Churchill and Lewis E. Hamson of Marblehead MA, a town to which she had a deep connection because of her love of the ocean and her interesting Marblehead ancestors, including Captain George Barker who skippered trade ships to the Far East in the 1800s. Teddy attended schools in Arlington and Marblehead, MA, and later received her B.A. in journalism from Boston University, followed by a Masters of Education twenty years later from BU also. As a life-long learner, Teddy inspired intellectual curiosity in hundreds of elementary school children whom she taught over 25 years in Holderness, NH and Marblehead and Beverly, MA. Teddy was pre-deceased by her husband, Clifford (Cliff) Haughton in 1970 and she is survived by son Dr. Dennis Haughton (and fiance Debbie) of Cave Creek, AZ, daughter Peggy MacLeod of Florence, MA, her favorite (only) grandson Todd Haughton (and wife Stephanie) of Phoenix, AZ, a niece and nephew Dorothy and John Berndt of California, and nephew David Jones of Arizona. Teddys friends, former pupils, and family will remember a legacy based in her political activism for world peace, civil rights, ending hunger and poverty, safe gun measures, refugee resettlement, and championing equality among people of all races, beliefs, orientations, and nationalities. As an example of what one person can accomplish towards making significant change, she wrote hundreds of letters and emails asking elected officials to promote laws that benefitted society as a whole. As a 50-year member of the Clifton Lutheran Church of Marblehead MA (her other family), Teddy often spoke out about her causes and talked constantly about the need for all cultures and belief systems to make peace with one another. Church members remember Teddy helping them write letters of encouragement to numerous prisoners of conscience for Amnesty International, letting governments know that these prisoners are not being forgotten. In addition to Marblehead, MA, a generational home since the 1800s, Center Sandwich, NH was Cliff and Teddys home and where Teddy spent 38 summers gardening organically in her front yard, and making life-long friends. She acquired a shoebox full of winning ribbons for her vegetables, flowers, jams, and fruit entered in the Sandwich Fair. Other interests included a wide range of non-fiction, Scottish, Native American, and Marblehead history, family board games, engaging in thoughtful discussions, Dixieland jazz and classical music, and many museums. Due to her strong interest in cultures, languages, ancestry research, and art, Teddy embarked on many summer adventures all over Europe, Mexico, the US, and Canada and brought back cultural knowledge and languages to be shared with her children and her pupils. Not surprisingly, her children and grandson inherit her love of travel and appreciation of art, music, and culture. The family would like to thank the staff at Armbrook Village, friend Gale Turner, and Pastor Lauren Holm for helping Teddy enjoy recent years after losing independence. Many knew Teddy for her quick sense of humor and spunky comments to all, and for living a life that was a spirited dance. A memorial for Teddy will be woven into the Sunday worship service at 10 a.m. May 21st at Clifton Lutheran Church, 150 Humphrey Street, Marblehead, MA, with coffee and refreshments to follow.

ObituaryMay 12, 2017Welsh, Jr., James Houghton

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven. (Ecclesiastes 3:1) James Houghton Welsh, Jr. 83, passed away peacefully with his wife and children by his side on May 10, 2017. He was born on February 24, 1934 in Buffalo, NY to the late James and Isabel Welsh (Diehl). A proud Nittany Lion fan, Jim graduated from Penn State University in 1956 and began a life long career as an electrical engineer with IBM Owego. In his first retirement, he ran a successful coffee house "Awakenings" with his wife Teddie and daughter Sue. Jim took great pleasure in arranging monthly musical events at Awakenings. After his second retirement from Awakenings, Jim enjoyed time with his family and friends at his cottage on Seneca Lake. Jim was an avid golfer, loved fishing, and was a wonderful caregiver to his two best furry friends Bobby and Georgie. But most of all, he loved his family. He is survived by his wife of 61 years Theodora (Teddie) Welsh (Weaver) of Owego, sons Christopher J. Welsh and Maria Wackett of Binghamton and Michael A. Welsh and Margaret L. Welsh (Lee) of Cooperstown, NY, daughter Suzanne M. Munroe (Welsh) and Charles Munroe of Owego, and grandchildren Trevor Welsh of Cleveland, OH, Sarah Mansfield (Good) of Seattle, WA, Theresa Lepkowski of Owego, Mark Lepkowski of Owego, and James Lepkowski and Jenny Li of Brooklyn, NY. Jim was pre-deceased by his grandson Jared Good. At Jim's request, there will be no calling hours or funeral service. A memorial gathering for family and friends will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim's memory can be made to Stray Haven Human Society, 194 Shepard Rd, Waverly, NY 14892, www.strayhavenspca.org. Condolences may be made to Jim's family at www.emfaheyfuneralhome.com.
