Mrs. Winnie Martin Webb

  Mrs. Winnie M. Webb, 83, lost a valiant battle with cancer at
Garden Park Nursing Home in Shreveport, Friday, Aug. 25, 2000.
She was born Sept. 30, 1916, in Mooringsport, to James T. and Ida
E. Martin.

  Memorial services were conducted by pastor Irvin Beaudreaux at
Pinecroft Baptist Church in Shreveport, followed by interment in
Mt. Zion Cemetery in Many.

  Mrs. Webb was preceded in death by her husband of 53 years,
Burnice; two sisters, Sylverine Johnson, and Margarete Martin;
and grandson Greg Sheffield.

  Those left to morn her home-going are daughters and sons-in-law,
Wanda and Ray Thomas, Shreveport, and Deanna and Allen Sheffield
of Hardin, Texas; grandchildren, Cheryl Thomas Young and husband
Don, Monty Thomas and April Thomas McDaniel, all of Shreveport,
and Beth Sheffield Redwine and husband, Bill of Magnolia, Texas;

  The Webbs were educated and married in Many, and their two
daughters were born in Many, but the last 50-plus years were
spent living and building relationships in Shreveport, where
Webb, a charter member of Pinecroft Baptist Church, taught Sunday
School, Missions, and Vacation Bible School until just a few
months ago. She was a Caddo Parish Election official for over 50
years. Her example will live on through the many lives she has
touched.
