Webber, Mary Lou

Mary Lou Webber, age 90, a lifelong resident of Mt. Sterling, Ohio, passed away on May 21. Mary Lou was born on July 17, 1931 to Loutie Lemay and Bruce Clinton Junk. She is preceded in death by her husband Robert “Bob” Webber, son David, sisters Ruth and Ann, and brothers Fred and Ned. She is survived by her sister, Jane; daughter, Catherine and her husband, Wayne; daughter-inlaw, Cindy; grandchildren, Annie, Matthew, Katie, Boyd, and Webber; and great-grandchildren, Keener, Grace, Mack, Louisa, and Vivian. Mary Lou attended Ohio University and was a member of the Pi Beta Phi sorority. She was an involved member of her community, which included working as a substitute teacher at Plains School, volunteering at London Hospital, serving as a board member of the Madison County Board of Developmental Disabilities, and participating as a member of The United Church. Mary Lou was an independent country girl who loved living on her farm, playing bridge, spending time with her neighbors, Tim and Mary, and Judy and David, and daily calls with her close friend, Betty. She was a big fan of Buckeye football and basketball and enjoyed watching games with her family and friends. Mary Lou maintained an active lifestyle into her 90s, visiting relatives across the country, playing golf at London Country Club (always at a fast pace), spending winters in Sarasota, and knitting Christmas stockings for her great-grandchildren. Her greatest joy in life was her 60 years of marriage to Bob, raising David and Catherine, and watching their families grow. Mary Lou was loved by many and will be missed. A visitation will be held from 4-7PM on June 3 at the Porter-tidd Funeral Home in Mt. Sterling and a graveside service will take place at Pleasant Cemetery on June 4 at 11AM.
