Mary Webb Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sutherland - Rankin Funeral Home on Dec. 2, 2025.
Mary Sue Webb, 90, of Salem passed away on November 29th, 2025, with her family by her side. She was born to Walter and Mamie (McDade) Watts on March 19th, 1935, in Mt. Vernon, Illinois. She would marry Oral Webb on November 15th, 1952, and would spend just shy of 57 years together before his passing in 2009.

She was a member at the Salem First Baptist Church. She loved to go camping, in her younger years. She enjoyed playing bingo and napping, in her later years. One of her biggest enjoyments came from sitting on her porch swing and watching the hummingbirds and squirrels. The one thing she loved the most was spending time with her family.

Mary is survived by her son: Roger (Sandy) Webb; daughter: Melody Webb; 10 grandchildren: Kristy (Shawn) Harper, Craig Webb, Brandon (Amanda) Walker, Michelle (Bryce Patton) Webb, Brent Webb, Brock Webb, Kayla Cox, Danielle Smith, Kyle (Cindie) Webb, and Jada Webb; 18 great grandchildren; 1 great greatgrandchild; and daughter-in-law: Cindy K. Webb.

She was preceded in death by her parents: Walter and Mamie Watts; husband: Oral Webb; two sons: Ed Webb and Randy Webb; two daughters: Vicki Webb and Cindy L. Webb; great grandson: Ethaniel Smith; two sisters: Pebble (Carl) Barnhart and Cynthia (Gerald) Barnhart; and grandmother: Rose Clopton.

A time of visitation will be held from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Monday December 8th, 2025, at the Sutherland-Rankin Funeral Home. A funeral service will be held on Tuesday December 9th, 2025, at 11:00am at the Sutherland-Rankin Funeral Home Chapel with Dr. Andy Dewitt officiating, with visitation time from 10:00am till the time of the service.
