Julia "Tud" Bernice Welch New

Graveside funeral services celebrating the life of Julia “Tud” Bernice Welch New, 91, of Sterlington, Louisiana will be held at 10:00 A.M., Wednesday, November 26, 2025 at Mulhearn Memorial Park Cemetery.

Julia was born on August 15, 1934, in Crowville, Louisiana and passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family on November 20, 2025.

Tud was a beloved wife, nurturing mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. Julia had a gift for turning simple moments into lasting memories. Her kitchen was the heart of her home, always filled with the comforting aroma of meals made with love and the laughter of family gathered around. She found joy in the little things like a good cookbook, a hidden gem at a thrift store or garage sale, or a sunny afternoon spent outdoors in her swing drinking coffee with her beloved sons and pets, Coco and Katrina.

Her love for animals, her passion for nature, and her devotion to family and friends made her a beacon of kindness and generosity. Whether she was hosting a backyard gathering or sharing stories over coffee, Julia made people feel seen, heard, and loved.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Joe D. New; parents, Julius and Ruth Welch; and granddaughter, Dawn Upshaw Rose.

Those left to cherish her memory are her children, Joey New (Lunar), Paul New (Amy), and Debbie Upshaw (Danny); grandchildren, Danny Upshaw, Jr. (Anna) and Brad New (Samantha); and great grandchildren, Grace Rose, Nate New, and William Upshaw.

She leaves behind a legacy of compassion, creativity, and connection. A life beautifully lived and deeply appreciated. Though she is no longer with us, her spirit lives on in every shared recipe, every thrifted treasure, and every moment spent in the company of those we hold dear.

After his service, he returned to International Harvester and became a salesman for the East Texas and North Louisiana territory. He was hired by Thomas Scott in March 1957 and moved to Monroe, LA.

About Us.

Our story begins on November 15, 1899, when Peter Sherlock Mulhearn married Alwine Louise Peters, daughter of Johann Ernst and Caroline Peters. Mr. Mulhearn worked for the Vicksburg, Shreveport and Pacific Railroad until 1912, when he became associated with his father-in-law in the undertaking and furniture business.

In 1916 Mr. Johann Ernst Peters passed away and Mr. Mulhearn helped in the family's furniture store business. He, his wife, sons and daughters opened Mulhearn Funeral Home in 1929. It was only a short time before the Mulhearn family began its expansion during the mid 1930s to Rayville, Delhi, and Winnsboro.

Along with the funeral homes, an insurance company, flower shops and an ambulance service were opened in the respective locations. In 1966, the ambulance company was closed due to liability insurance and governmental regulations, but another funeral home and flower shop were added in West Monroe, Louisiana.

In 1971, Tom and Marie Mulhearn along with their four children, Thomas Henry, Jr., Peter G., Joseph E. and Barbara, purchased the company from Tom's brothers and sisters. In late 1970s Tom and Marie's oldest grandson, Mike, who had been coming to the funeral home with them since he was about six, joined the company.
