Virginia (Welch) Cresswell Obituary
With heavy hearts, we announce the death of Virginia (Welch) Cresswell in Sidney, Nebraska, who passed away on January 29, 2026. Leave a sympathy message to the family on the memorial page of Virginia (Welch) Cresswell to pay them a last tribute.
As we bid Virginia farewell, let us not mourn the absence of her physical form, but rather celebrate the essence of her spirit that lingers in the spaces between moments. For Virginia is not truly gone, but merely transformed, her energy intertwined with the fabric of the universe itself, forever dancing among the stars.
She was predeceased by: her parents, Marion Welch (Mantey) and Ralph Welch; her son Greg Cresswell; and her siblings, William Welch and Jane Harroff (Welch).
She is survived by: her husband Gordon Cresswell; her daughter Wendy Cresswell; her granddaughter Jesse Cresswell; and her siblings, Dretta Peterson (Welch) and Thomas Welch.
Virginia was an avid reader throughout her life, so in lieu of flowers we invite you to make donations to The World Literacy Foundation at worldliteracyfoundation.org. Our family has been deeply affected by Alzheimer's disease and Dementia.
