Anna "Jane" (Kochersperger) Welsh, of Gettsyburg, PA, was born March 30, 1931, in Philadelphia, PA to the late Harry and Elsie (McHenry) Kochersperger and passed away at Genesis Care Gettysburg Center on March 22, 2019. Jane graduated from John Bartram High School in 1950. She married her high school sweetheart Daniel G. Welsh on June 7, 1952. They were married 40 years until his death in November,1993.

Surviving are her daughter Karen Griffith of Okeechoobee, FL, and son Keith Welsh of Gettysburg, PA. Surviving also are ten grandchildren including Kiersten Lewis of Carey NC, Laura Feightner of Okeechobee, FL, David Griffith of Raleigh, NC, Cleo McDonald, Daniel Welsh, and Marshall Welsh of Texas, Courtney Shanahan of Stafford, VA, Andrew and Kevin Welsh of Gettysburg, PA and Jenna Welsh, of Cambridge, MA.

Jane was predeceased by her husband Daniel Grant, her son Daniel Allen, sister Elsie, and brothers Randal, Milton, Chester, and Hammond Kochersperger.  All four of Jane's brothers were WWII Veterans.

Jane was active in the church all her life, including 34 years at the Westminster Presbyterian Church of Philadelphia, later the Springfield Baptist Church, and then for the remainder of her life at the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church after Jane and Dan moved from the Philadelphia area to Gettysburg in 1981. Jane was a Sunday School teacher for many years, a Campfire Girls leader, active in the church choir, women's circles, and for many years enjoyed the "Gettysburg Newcomers Club." Jane was also a proud employee of the Adams County National Bank in Gettysburg for many years.

Jane enjoyed most her time with family, time in the sunshine doing a crossword puzzle, reading, time with friends from church, watering her flowers on her deck, and watching birds at her bird feeder. She was a perpetual optimist whose foundational scripture in life was "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and was a spiritual inspiration to her children and many who knew her.

There will be no public viewing; following cremation a memorial service to celebrate the life of Jane will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, March 29, 2019 at the Gettysburg Presbyterian Church, 208 Baltimore St, Gettysburg, PA 17325. The family will receive friends to share memories from 10:30 a.m. until the time of service at the church. Burial will be private at Evergreen Cemetery.
