She took the helm of the George County Sheriff's Department today, sworn by Judge Dale Harkey.
The wife of the two-term sheriff replaced her husband, who was struck and killed July 21, authorities have said, by Brandy Williams driving a pickup truck on Bexley Road.
Reportedly the girlfriend of criminal suspect Christopher Baxter, officials said she was trying to avoid spike strips that Welford was attempting to place on the roadway to stop their fleeing truck during a law enforcement pursuit.
Welford was buried a week ago today at the cemetery of Shady Grove Baptist Church.
