Gerlene R. Webb, age 83, of Arnold, Missouri, passed away on December 31, 2025. She was born on May 7, 1942, in Point Rest, Missouri, to Henry Fornkahl and Gertrude (Hacht) Fornkahl.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Paul Webb; her grandson, Jordan Webb; her parents; and her sister, Virginia Shilling.

Gerlene is survived by her sons, Randy (Stacey) Webb and Scott Webb; her brother, Gerald (Karen) Fornkahl; along with other loving family members and friends who will cherish her memory.

Gerlene will be remembered for her dedication to family, her faith, and her warm presence in the lives of those who knew her.
