Glenda Lane Webb, 88, of Pine Forest Community passed away Sunday, October 27, 2013, in Covenant Hospice at West Florida Hospital.

She was the wife of Dr. John B. Webb.

Mr. John Webb (Trena) of Pace, Judy Ring of Crestview, Gordon Webb (Jeannette) of Cantonment, Mark Webb (Bernadette) of Pensacola, and Jane Webb of Pensacola. She is also survived by 26 grandchildren, 33 great-grandchildren, two great-great grandchildren, and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins.

Glenda Webb was a dedicated wife, mother, and homemaker. She spent many active years in volunteer work at Pine Forest United Methodist Church as a choir member, Sunday School teacher, Worship Committee Chairperson, Hospitality Chairperson, Youth Counselor, and Preschool Director. In addition, she spent as much time in her garden as she could, chasing weeds from every corner of her world. She loved getting into the dirt and growing any flower, vegetable, or fruit. Glenda was an avid cook, artist, reader, and traveler. Her interests were diverse and she loved learning. As her health began to fail her, she took up a new hobby, bird watching. Her back yard became an aviary, and she could identify the different birds as they flew in and out of the trees.

Glenda was an enthusiastic baseball fan. She and Johnny had season tickets to the Pensacola Pelican games and could be found in the stands at every home game. They became loyal fans of the Blue Wahoos when the new team came to town and Glenda could name every player and followed them faithfully.

She loved greatly and was greatly loved. She will be greatly missed.

Glenda’s memorial service was held Saturday, November 2, 2013, at Pine Forest United Methodist Church on Wilde Lake Blvd.

The family is accepting floral condolences or, if preferred, contributions may be made to Glenda’s favorite charity in her memory, St. Joseph’s Indian School, PO Box 326 Chamberlain, SD 57326.

Lewis Funeral Home entrusted with arrangements.
