Raquel Welch obituary details are not disclosed yet by any of her family members or relatives. On February 15, 2023, her son Damon Welch stated that his mother died following a brief illness at her Los Angeles home at 82.

Raquel Welch emerged to prominence in the 1960s as a s*x symbol, leaving an enduring effect on society. 

Welch was born in 1940 in Chicago and relocated with her family to San Diego when she was two years old. Welch describes her childhood as “grim,” characterized by a controlling father who verbally and physically abused her mother, and they divorced while Welch was a teenager.

When she was 18, Welch married her high school lover, James Welch. Damon and Tahnee are their two children. Welch began taking acting courses while working as a weather lady for a local television station and supporting her small family. 

Her marriage dissolved five years later, and she ended herself in Hollywood after briefly working as a model and cocktail server in Dallas. Welch claimed that as a single mother fighting to make ends meet, her life felt a world away from the other wide-eyed starlets applying for parts.

“She passed away with no pain,” Damon Welch said, adding that he was proudest of his mother’s participation in USO tours with Bob Hope in the late 1960s and early 1970s.

Furthermore, her son also said about his mom passing, “Her career spanned over 50 years starring in over 30 films and 50 television series and appearances. The Golden Globe winner, in more recent years, was involved in a very successful line of wigs.”
