The family of Tim and Donna Whelan of Watson, Missouri, would like to invite all friends, neighbors, and acquaintances to a reception to be held in the honor of their 50th wedding anniversary on Sunday, July 14, 2024, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Watson community building in Watson.

Timothy R. Whelan and Donna J. Ottmann were untied in marriage at 7:00 p.m. on Friday evening, July 12, 1974, at Saint Mary Catholic Church in Hamburg, Iowa, by Father James Polich. All their married life they have lived and farmed north of Watson where they raised two children, Matt Whelan of Watson, and Lori (Whelan) Kean of Omaha, Nebraska.

The couple requests no gifts, as your presence is gift enough.
