Herbert Webster Obituary

Herbert A. Webster, of Marshfield, passed away on January 12, 2020, surrounded by his loving family, at the age of 80. Beloved husband of the late Elaine A. (Benedict) Webster; loving father of Stacey A. Harvey and her husband Joseph of S. Plymouth and Amy A. Rogers and her husband Stephan of Weymouth; cherished "Papa" of Morgan, Madison, Mia, and Mason; dear brother of Natale A. Lee and her husband Peter of Braintree, Brian C. Webster of Chicopee, and Nancy L. Webster and John Doyle of South Weymouth. Herbert was a graduate of Weymouth High School Class of 1958. He was a Veteran of the U.S. Navy and a retired Grocer for the Stop & Shop Company. Herbie, Herbalicous, The Herbinator, and The Herbster are just a few of his familys nicknames for Herbert. He was an avid sports fan who loved The Patriots, Red Sox and watching his granddaughters cheer for Plymouth South Football. Spending time in Wellfleet, Belmont New Hampshire and Maine were some of his fondest memories. Herbies wife Elaine was the love of his life for over 30 years. Before she passed they loved to travel with friends. They truly enjoyed going on cruises which allowed them to visit many different islands including Bermuda where they had spent their honeymoon. Herbie was as social as they come. He couldnt go anywhere in Marshfield without running into a familiar face. Youd frequently find Herbie at Raffs or listening to Blues bands at The Jetty on the weekends. His smile lit up a room and everyone would agree he was the most kindhearted, generous, passive and gentle soul to walk the earth. Herbies greatest accomplishment were his daughters. They were his pride and joy. He was the proudest father and an even prouder Papa. He loved to brag about his Grandchildren and youd know everything about them by the end of your conversation. Herbie was a legend. He has touched so many lives; hell be missed immensely by so many.

Mr. Webster,
Sir, I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice for our Country when served with the USN during the Cold War. Millions of Americans slept safe at night because you and your fellow Servicemen stood ready to defend our Country. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
