Obituary
Mary Frances Kimbrough “Kim” Webb, 99, of Lincoln,
passed away on Thursday, May 4, 2017 at her home.
She was born at home in rural Hancock County near
Joetta, Illinois on January 29, 1918, daughter of
Edward Wyatt and Edna B. Seipel Kimbrough. She
received her B.A. from Carthage College in 1939 and
taught home economics at Blandinsville High School
until her marriage to John L. Webb. They were the
parents of four children: Susan of Lincoln, David
(Mary Jane Moffat) of Walton, OR; Carol of Lincoln,
and Melbourne, Australia; and Jean of
New Haven, CT. All of them survive.
After the death of John Webb, she returned to school
at SIU-E and received her master’s degree in
counseling and guidance. She served as a counselor
at North Junior High School in Godfrey, until her
marriage in 1977 to her childhood friend G. Albert
Webb and moved, along with her mother, Edna B.
Kimbrough, to Lawndale. Mr. Webb died in 1998. From
this marriage, she gained two sons Alvin (Barbara)
of Louisville, KY and Allen (Gayle) of Springfield.
They survive.
