Margaret Bishop Webb

Margaret Bishop Webb passed away in Savannah, Georgia, on September 10, following heart surgery. She was a member of our community, the Congregational Church, and a treasure to know as a friend. She will be deeply missed.

She was predeceased by her husband Edward and son Dayton. Survivors are sons Frederick Webb of Burton, South Carolina; Charles Webb of Colley Hill, Gray; and daughter Callie Burke of Jacksonville, South Carolina. Brothers Ron (and Luna) Bishop of Cornelius, North Carolina; Paul Bishop of Mexico; and Jake (and Suzanne) Bishop of Hadley, Massachusetts.

Ed and Margaret moved with their family to their home in Burton, South Carolina several years ago, coming home to Colley Hill for the summer months. In Burton she was a member of her church choir, served Meals on Wheels for many years, and was always visiting friends in nursing homes and being helpful in any way she could.

While Ed was in the army, she and the family moved with him, and she made life-long friends both in this country and overseas. She was a wonderful person. Burial was in South Carolina.
