ATHENS – After a four year battle with breast cancer, Ann Webb, 57, went to be with the Lord, with her sons, family and friends by her side, on Wednesday night, May 30, 2012. Born September 24 1954 at Welch, she was the daughter of the late Vernon Webb and Ola Gibson Webb.

Ann was an avid sports fan and loved watching her boys play sports more than anything. She spent most of her time taking her boys back and forth to practices and games and never minded cheering loudly for them and their teammates. Even in declining health, she would volunteer to work the concession stand for the PikeView Soccer Team with fundraisers and support their teams anyway she could. She was absolutely devoted to her sons. She was a 1974 graduate of Northfork High School. She had worked at Concord University Daycare. When her health permitted, she attended the Lerona United Methodist Church.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her son's father, Stanley Francisco; three sisters, Faye Kessinger, Nina Dearinger and Wanda Edwards; and three brothers, Ray Webb, William Darrel Webb and James Douglas Webb.

Survivors include two sons, Joe Webb and John Webb both of Athens; three sisters, Fonda McPeak of Bluefield and Jean Lightcap and Marlene Webb both of Ohio; two brothers, Damon Webb and Vernon Webb, Jr. both of North Carolina; and one grandson, Cayden Isaac Webb.

Funeral services will be conducted at 2:00 p.m. Saturday, June 2, 2012 at the Rowland H. Bailey Funeral Chapel of the Bailey-Kirk Funeral Home in Princeton with Pastor Casper Dalton and Pastor Vernon Webb, Jr. officiating. Interment will follow at Roselawn Memorial Gardens in Princeton.

Serving as pallbearers will be Joe Webb, John Webb, Ben Nester, Dr. Paul Gilley, Damon Webb and Joey Esteridge.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Ann Webb Family Fund, c/o City National Bank, 191 Greasy Ridge Rd., Princeton, WV 24740.

The family will receive friends Saturday, June 2, 2012 from noon until service hour at the Bailey-Kirk Funeral Home in Princeton. To view a video tribute to Ms. Webb, or send the family online condolences, please visit www.bailey-kirk.com.
