Beverly Ruth Webb, 84, of Sebring, Ohio, went home to be with the Lord she loved and dedicated her life to serving on Monday, Oct. 1, 2018 with her family by her side.

She was born on April 12, 1934, in Sharon, the daughter of Ethel (Bell) and Arthur King. She grew up on Curtis Street in Sharon, where she learned about the love of family, animals, music, and her Lord.

Beverly graduated in 1952 from Sharon High School and graduated from the Sharon General Hospital School of Nursing in 1957. She was a registered nurse for Sharon General Hospital as well as hospitals in Warren, Ohio, and the Ashtabula County Nursing Home. She finished her career in home health care.

On July 11, 1958, she married James Richard Webb in Greenville. After daughters Karen and Becky were born, Jim entered the ministry of the United Methodist Church, and so Beverly became a pastor's wife. She was dedicated to her service in the church, participating in women's groups and choir, often teaching children's classes and leading children's choirs. Her hands were often seen on the piano keyboard or preparing food to share with others.

In her spare time she enjoyed reading, cooking, making crafts, sewing and especially writing. She sometimes would be seen as a speaker for church services and sharing her gift of vocal music.

One of her greatest treasures was the time she spent with her grandchildren. They were often the source for stories she would later write, bringing smiles to the faces of many.

Mrs. Webb is preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 50 years, Rev. James R. Webb; and her brother, Paul King.

Survivors include two daughters, Karen S. (Rev. Vernon) Palo of Damascus, Ohio, and Rebecca D. (Larry) Huston of Ashtabula, Ohio; two sons, Mark J. (Theresa) Webb of Bristolville, Ohio, and Paul R. Webb of Ashtabula; five grandchildren; and five great grandchildren, with two on the way.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Bristolville U.M.C., Box 234, Bristolville, OH 44402, or to the charity of one's choice.
