of Monticello, passed away at her
home April 15, 2014.
She was born Jan. 27, 1918,
in Ashley County near Fountain
Hill.
She was the daughter of John
Henry Tate and Sallie Ann Elizabeth Turnbow Tate, who preceded

William Frank, John Wilburn and
Emory Cleve Tate; her young son,
Dennis Martin Webb; her first
husband, Ray Webb; her second

Katherine Howell, Emma Howell,
Avery Carter and Logan Carter;
three great-great-grandchildren,
Michael, John Paul and Madeline
June Carter; as well as numerous
nephews and nieces and other extended family members, friends,
caregivers; and her dog, Sydney.
As a young girl, she developed
a love for gospel music, growing
up spending time with her father
traveling by wagon to Sunday afternoon gospel singings and singing schools that her father taught.
During this time, she also developed a passion for gardening from
her mother, ultimately becoming a
charter member of the Southside
Home Demonstration Club.
She and Ray began their married life living with her mother-in-law, Marietta Burks Webb,
and grandmother-in-law, Melinda
Jane Camp Burks. When her oldest daughter, Anna, was 2, they
moved to their first home, the
Bowser Road farm, where she
lived until moving to Bentonville in 1992. Many great memories were developed and cultivated at the Bowser Road farm
for her children as they grew up
and grandchildren, who all spent
many summers with her there.
While in Monticello, she was a
member of the Monticello Church
of Christ, where her husband,
Ray, served many years as a deacon and elder of the congregation.
During this time, she exhibited
her role as a great hostess, showing hospitality to everyone with
her willingness to “always set another plate or two” for guests to
share a meal with her family.
While in Monticello, she began
her working career at the Drew
County ASCS office. She also
worked for a period of time at the
College Heights Post Office and
ultimately moved to managing the

Arkansas State Revenue Office in
Monticello, where she continued
to work until retirement. To this
day, you will find many families
in Monticello that knew her because of her involvement in this
office and the kindness and support she showed them while there.
In 1992, she moved to Bentonville, to be closer to her daughter,
June, and her husband, Paul, as
well as a number of her grandchildren. Upon moving to Bentonville, she became a member of
the Bentonville Church of Christ,
where she continued to play an
active role. She loved being involved in family celebrations,
vacations and trips, enjoying time
spent outdoors with family and
friends. One very special trip was
when she was part of the Five
Women Will Travel Inc., which
included her two daughters and
two granddaughters on a fall tour
of New England. She likewise enjoyed many trips, as far away as
Europe with her Monticello travel
group. She was an avid bridge and
dominoes player, beginning early
in her marriage with her motherin-law and continuing with her
family, friends and caregivers up
to the last few days.
She was a loving Christian
woman who always reached out to
others with a helping hand or word
of encouragement. Her Christian
faith was evident in all of her actions, words and commitment to
her family and friends. She set a
great example of what it meant to
love those around her and that she
came in contact with no matter
the circumstances through tough
times and good times.
Funeral services were held at
10 a.m. Friday, April 18, 2014, at
