BIO

Lil Welch, known as Granny Lil, was born and raised in Louisiana. She graduated from Louisiana College in Pineville, Louisiana, where she majored in English Education and minored in Speech. Granny Lil did not begin her teaching career immediately. Instead, she spent several years as a stay-at-home mom and homemaker. When she did begin her teaching career, she found that it was more than a job; teaching for her was a calling. Over the years, Granny Lil has taught 5th grade, junior high, and high school. She also served on the board of her alma mater, Louisiana College.

Granny Lil is thrilled to be affiliated with Discipleship Tutorial, where she can share her faith in the Lord and encourage her wonderful students to do the same.

If you ask Granny Lil what she treasures most in her life, besides God, she would say her family: her husband of fifty-two years, her five children, her fifteen grandchildren, and her two great-grandchildren. She also adores her students and friends. All are blessings in her life.
