August 15, 1948 - February 3, 2024
Judith Smith Webb
Marion, AR
Judith (Judi) Smith Webb, a resident of Marion, AR passed away peacefully Saturday, Feb. 3, 2024. She was born on Aug. 15, 1948 in Union, MS to the late Buddy and LaVerne (Gibbs) Smith. She was 75 years old.
Judi received her Master of Education from the Mississippi University for Women and taught history for 40 years. She met the love of her life, Harry J. Webb, on a blind date in 1979 and they were married six months later. They moved to Helena, AR where they grew their family and then moved to Marked Tree, AR in 1993 where they became members of St. Norbert Catholic Church. She lived there until moving to Marion, AR in 2019.
Judi was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, teacher and friend who always put her family first. She was the epitome of a Southern woman and could have given Emily Post a run for her money on etiquette. She loved and looked forward to her annual family trips to the horse races in Hot Springs and the Destin beaches. Growing up in Mississippi, she rooted for the Bulldogs but also loved cheering for the Razorbacks… when they were winning. She was a self-proclaimed solitaire champion, loved a Blue Bloods marathon and truly thought her grandchildren hung the moon.
Judi is survived by her three children, Josh (Ellen) Webb of Jonesboro, Burke (Meg) Webb of Marion, Ann Marie Webb of Conway; two grandchildren, Lily and Levi Webb of Marion and her beloved shih tzu, Chuy. Judi was preceded in death by her husband, Harry J. Webb and parents, Buddy and LaVerne Smith.
Visitation for Judi will be at 10 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 9th followed by a memorial service at 11 a.m. at St. Michael's Catholic Church, 411 N. Missouri St., West Memphis, AR.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Le Bonheur Children's Hospital, P.O. Box 41817, Memphis, TN, 38174 or lebonheur.org/donatenow.

Mrs. Webb was the definition of what one would call an amazing teacher. She had a lasting impact on me and many others. Much love.

Loved your dad and mom. I expect to see them again sooner rather
than later. I’m sure your dad will ask me, “Jim, how did you get here”
Peace to y’all. Jim Dunlap

What a beautiful lady Judi was. Always so friendly and helpful when needed. I always enjoyed seeing her the beauty shop and we would talk about our kids. She will be truly missed.
