BENTONVILL­E — Leona J. Webb,

-

went to be with her Lord and Savior on December 7, 2020, at Circle of Life Hospice in her beloved Bentonvill­e, Ark. She was born on March 10, 1949, in Berryville, Ark., to parents Harold & Jerry Ray and later graduated from Cassville High School in 1966. Leona married Mike Webb on January 18, 1969, in Bentonvill­e, Ark., and made it their home for over 51 years.

Leona served the LORD tirelessly, with all of her being, while working full time for the USDA and raising her three sons. This entailed working on several church committees, including feeding and nurturing families in need, the offering committee as well as teaching Sunday School. She had a tender and compassion­ate heart for people that did not know the Lord, the less fortunate benevolent, and a deep discernmen­t for children. Leona often identified other’s needs, possessed a servant’s heart, and treated everyone with respect and dignity.

Leona’s passions involved being a loving wife, mother, grandmothe­r, and friend. She loved scripture and her daily devotional, gospel music, and carpooling to Bible studies with friends. She also enjoyed summer camping & boating trips to the lake, working in the yard, but consistent­ly any activity that involved her family. Leona’s talents were many, but decorating her home was monumental during Christmas, her most cherished time of the year. Multiple Christmas trees could be seen from the street, as well as lights, ribbons bows and figurines always perfectly placed throughout the house. She always made life special and will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her husband Mike, her sons, Todd Webb of Fayettevil­le, Ark., Aaron & Shannon Webb of Pea Ridge, Ark., Jim & Kellie Webb of Bentonvill­e, Ark., her grandchild­ren, Hunter, Cole, Macey, Finley, Luke and Bennett, and a granddaugh­ter due in April, her sisters, Loretta & Wayne Writer & Leta & Darrel Williams, her mother, Jerry Ray, and many nieces & nephews that were very dear to her as well.

Recognizin­g the national COVID-19 pandemic, the visitation and funeral will require facial masks, staff regulated ADH requiremen­ts and social distancing.
