Metisha Ann Ewbank Welsh

Metisha Ann Welsh received her heavenly healing from cancer in the early morning hours of June 5th, 2011. She fought a courageous four year battle. Throughout the journey she showed her friends and family what it means to be a Christ like warrior. She never gave up on her hope in God and the destination that awaited regardless of the final outcome. Her incredible joy and love for life, family and friends never quit and spread as a contagious hope to the many who walked the path with her.

Despite the illness of cancer, Metisha continued to live a full life and enjoyed her favorite activities of camping, four wheeling and marveling at the night stars as they brightly shined at the Cedar Springs Ewbank Family Farm, mountain biking with her husband Mark, relaxing on the beaches of Mexico, breathing in the mountain air of Red River New Mexico and experiencing the wonders of Christmas at Disney World.

Metisha married Mark Welsh at their paradise wedding in Jamaica on July 8th, 2000 and hand in hand with their love and a Godly commitment to each other, they fought the battle together. 

Metisha enjoyed people and never met a stranger. Her family often joked she could visit with a wall. Her love for people was a special gift from God. With this gift she was called to be a 5th grade teacher in the Forth Worth school district. She used her creativity in the classroom making up silly songs and riddles to help her children learn. She invested love in each of her students by teaching them important characteristics like compassion, acceptance and love for life. Her goal was always to challenge her kids to do their best and further their education so they could go far as they dreamed and that they could achieve whatever they believed.

She knew heaven was for real when she arrived and was greeted first by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and then a joyous and a happy Granny Darlene Ewbank, Grandpa Edwin Karber and Grandpa Joe Woodman and a number of family and friends.

She will be greatly missed by her husband Mark, parents Danny and Barbara Ewbank, sister and brother-in-law Regan and Jeremy Unruh, niece Emmory Tisha Unruh, Mark’s parents Lyle and Ann Welsh and sister Kaley Welsh, grandparents Wade and Jean Ewbank, Edna Karber and Leona Woodman and many uncles and aunts, cousins and friends.

She entered this world on July 28th, 1977 and departed on June 5th, 2011.

A Celebration of Life Service will be held Thursday, June 9th at 2 pm at the Fairview M.B. Church.
