EPCC Remembers Mrs. Jenna Welch
EPCC remembers Mrs. Jenna Welch (1919-2019) whose love and passion for reading has impacted our students and community. Her loss is deeply felt but her legacy lives on. In 2005, EPCC’s Northwest campus library in partnership with El Paso Public Library was named the Jenna Welch and Laura Bush Community Library. The library in collaboration with the Canutillo ISD honored Mrs. Welch by creating the Jenna Welch Family Literacy Program in honor of her example of reading to others. She always took time to visit El Paso and was always willing to take the time to read to our students. “I remember her visit to the Northwest Library which is named after her. During her visit, she shared her passion for encouraging children to read and the importance of reading aloud to them to stimulate their imagination,” Lorely Ambriz, Head Librarian at the Jenna Welch and Laura Bush Community Library. “In 2005, we presented a scrapbook to her about the library and her memories made in Canutillo where she grew up. She was thrilled to see photos of the yellow brick house she lived in as she flipped through the pages.” Image Description: In this color photograph, a woman is pictured standing behind a grey podium. The grey podium is filling the lower half of the left hand side of the photograph. There is an El Paso Community College emblem in teal white and black on the podium. The woman standing behind the podium is wearing a beige two- piece pant suit. She has glasses on and has short curly hair. In the background of the photo there are green shrubs and a grey wall that belongs to a building structure.
