Mrs. Webb was my supervisor in surgery at Methodist in 1978. I was just starting out in the working world and she taught me a lot. She allowed me the time off at short notice to attend a 3 day seminar that turned out to be the start of my lifelong career. Thank, you Mrs. Webb.

So sorry to hear about your lost. It is hard when one goes but one usually has wonderful memories to keep mind and they will help mend the sorrow.

It is with great sadness that I write this entry. Just learned from a nurse colleague of Barbara's recent death. Barbara Webb was my Operating Room instructor in 1957. I worked for her as a staff nurse, etc in the OR at Methodist from '59 to 1971. We remained friends and colleagues ever since I left Methodist in 1971. Barbara Lea was a dedicated, tough, and no-nonsense administrator. I enjoyed working with her at the 500 Mile Race track in the 1960's. I personally feel an enormous loss. I send my sincere condolences to Barbara's family, friends, and colleagues.
