Mrs. Webb-what a wonderful, kind teacher!! I was not only her kindergarten student, but in the 5th grade she let me come in during recess and "work" with her students. She was an inspiration and such a role model of what a teacher should be. I remember at Christmas that year she pulled me to the side of the room and said "I can't pay you for your work, but here's a little something to let you know I appreciate you". Inside the box was an angel Christmas ornament that still hangs on my tree every year. She was such a thoughtful person! I'm not sure if she realized what a role model she was. Today, I'm in my 28th year of teaching and some of the lessons I learned from her I'm still using today . My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Please know your mother/grandmother's warmth and kindness lives on through the thousands of people she touched! God bless you and the piece of Christ be with you!

Colleen and Morley took us under their wings when we arrived in Edmore, two very green teachers. They found an apartment for us, and later gave us a recommendation that allowed us to purchase our first house. She was kindergarten teacher to our 3 children, and they loved her dearly. She was so gracious, such a warm, friendly person. I feel so blessed to have had her in our lives. We send Myrna, Mimi, and Tom and their families our warm thoughts, and hope they know Colleen lives on in the hearts of many

As "Pastels", Mr. and Mrs. Webb were our biggest supporters which allowed me to know them not only as our educators, but as a family of faith whose home held many open houses for which Mrs. Webb was famous. Will always treasure her as Heather's teacher, choir member, recipe sharer, mom Pastel supporter, seamstress, piano player, and most of all, an example of a life of grace and love.

When my parents moved to Edmore in 1951, the first friendship they made was with the Webb family. We lived in the apartments and the Webbs lived across the field from us. We would meet and play with Mimi and Myrna. We later built a house on the "hill" and the Webb's moved just kitty corner from us. We did many things together. Mrs. Webb always treated me like family. At the Webb house in town or at Rock Lake, we were always welcome. Mrs. Webb always had treats for us as she was an awesome baker. My dad and her husband, Morley, were great friends, not only as neighbors, but through school board meetings, church events, and as Lion's Club members as well. One of my great memories was our trip camping together on Lake Huron. So many laughs. My wife and I are so sorry to hear of Colleen's passing, but we know that she now is well and singing in heaven. No more pain or tears, but rejoicing in her new home and body. We pray that God will comfort Myrna, Mimi, and Tom and their families as they grieve her passing and give them peace. She will be missed. But we, who know Christ, have a hope that the world can not know. Sincerely, Bob & Sara Wegner

My condolences to her family. Mrs. Webb was my kindergarten teacher. She was an amazing person that touched so many. When I was in my twenties I stopped at her yard sale and bought a Steinbeck book from her. She knew exactly who I was. She even joked with me telling me I have to help her figure out how much change to give back to me. Because, and I quote "you know, I never made it out of kindergarten ". It was an honor to have known her.

Mrs. Webb was my kindergarten teacher. I wasn't able to go on our class field trip for health reasons, so Mrs. Webb took me on her own time to the orchard and McDonald's. I will always remember how loving and kind she was.

What a wonderful and accomplished Lady. My favorite Aunt and so much more. Her children are the cream of the crop and she raised a family of which she could not be more proud.
