Dimple Welsh ended her time here on earth on October 13th, 2019, at age 99, from a lengthy illness. She was the youngest child of Dr. William and Meccie McNeeese. She arrived in Baton Rouge from her birthplace in Angie, Louisiana at the time the State Capitol was being erected, and shared many tales growing up in that era. A family favorite was on one Saturday, at age eleven, with no one around, she ventured to the top of the unfinished capitol and looked around. She was a very talented lady, a member of the Baton Rouge Porcelain Art Guild and attended various classes in order to further her art. She painted scenes on wedding invitations for many years.

I was so sorry to hear of Dimple's death. She and Mr. Jim were two of the nicest people at DOTD. I ordered numerous paintings on graduation and wedding invitations and she painted an ostrich egg, plus a painting of a house to give as a Christmas gift. I went on my lunch time to pick up the painting and she had prepared lunch for us. Her table setting was beautiful and we had perfect bacon and tomato sandwiches with Sprite in stem glasses. So pretty, such a gracious lady.
