Mrs. Josephine Truly Webb, 92, of 1301 Concord Drive, Petersburg, VA, peacefully entered eternal rest on January 28, 2020.
Josephine was the eighth child born to Arthur and Josephine Truly in Prince George, VA. She was educated in the local school systems and was well known and loved in Petersburg and surrounding vicinity.
Josephine was a dedicated and dependable employee. She retired after 30 years of professional service at Central State Hospital and worked an additional 20 years as a private duty nurse/caretaker in the community.
Born into a family of believers, Josephine grew up in the church, accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Providence Baptist Church. Josephine loved the Lord and going to church, although services were held once monthly at her home church in Prince George County. After moving her residence to the city, Josephine joined Good Shepherd Baptist Church where she attended first, second and forth Sundays which she said, ‘filled her month’. She served various ministries over the years, but cherished her service in the pastor’s aide-as she loved “those who carried the Word of God”.
Josephine was family oriented and loved her family sharing in family events and gatherings. She was preceded in death by her husband, Linwood Webb: daughter, Audrey Webb; parents, Arthur and Josephine Truly, brothers, Robert, Morris, Weldon, Waverly and Samuel; sisters, Corrine Blythe and Carrie Boyd.
She leaves to cherish her memory: one son, Jerry James Jones III (Joyce); six grandchildren, one devoted, Aubrey Webb, Percell Burrow, Jonathan A. Jones (Brittney), Jeremy J. Jones, Jessica C. Jones, and Patria M. Jones; sister-in- law, Patricia Truly; along with a host of great grandchildren nephews, nieces, , cousins, friends and neighbors.

Ms. Josephine was a lifelong friend and classmate of my mother Erleen Brown and her twin Cathleen Johnson. She always welcomed me with a hug and kiss and I know her presence will be missed by friends and family alike.

Philippian 1:21-23
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose. I do not know. I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far.
SHE TRADED IN THE WORN OUT EARTHLY SUIT FOR A FOREVER GLORIFIED SUIT WITH THE FATHER.
Farewell my friend in Christ your work is now done on earth take your rest and sleep in peace until we meet again on...
