Fremont, CA - Enid Welling, 85, passed away on Sunday, January 23, 2005. Enid was born on January 10, 1920 to Willard Marvin and Edith Ellen Morgan Welling. She graduated from Bear River High School in 1938 and then attended the University of Utah, graduating in 1941 with a BA degree in Sociology, after which she entered the Graduate School of Social Work at the University of California, Berkely, where she spent two years. She received a certificate to practice social work.
At the end of WWII she worked in private child care agencies in San Francisco and Salt Lake City. After this, she worked for 24 years in that state's Child Welfare Services programs. She was employed by the Oregon State Public Welfare Commission, where she was assistant director of Oregon State's Child Welfare Program when she left that agency to enroll in the graduate School of Social Work at the University of Utah in 1965. She secured her Master's degree in 1966. She was then employed by the Federal Government and worked for the U.S. Children's Bureau in Washington, D.C. and the Federal Regional Offices in San Francisco and Seattle. At one point she even took eight months off to spend time in South America.
She retired in 1983, returning to her original home of Fielding, Utah. Enid loved every job she held and every child she ever knew, always wishing that our nation would more fully appreciate and provide for its greatest resource, our children.
Enid was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and served there as a visiting teacher.
Enid will be missed by her three nephews: Robert Scott McClellan, Oregon City, OR, Patrick Hardy McClellan, Fremont, CA and John Sanford McClellan, Ogden, UT.
