Pat Webb

Patricia Lean Webb, affectionately known as Pat to her friends and family, passed away peacefully on December 19, 2025, in Green Forest, Arkansas, after a courageous battle with cancer. Born on May 25, 1958, and raised in Neelyville, Missouri, Pat lived a life defined by strength, kindness, and a deep love for those around her.

Pat’s early years laid the foundation for the woman she would become—a devoted wife, a loving mother, and an extraordinary Nana. She put herself through college earning her Associate’s Degree from Three Rivers Community College. Her last occupation was a Nutrition Provider for the Green Forest School District. In that role, she nourished not only the bodies of the children she served, but their hearts as well, offering warmth, care, and encouragement every day.

Pat shared a life of true partnership and mutual respect with her husband, John Webb. Together, they raised three children—Michael, Inga, and Scott—instilling in them the values of kindness, thoughtfulness, and love that Pat exemplified throughout her life. Being a mother was one of her greatest joys, and she embraced that role with grace, patience, and unwavering devotion.

To her children and their families—Michael and his wife Amanda, Inga and her husband Brad, and Scott—Pat was a steady guiding light and a constant source of support. She was a devoted grandmother to Alexa, Jenavieve, Erica, and Marcus, delighting in each of them and enriching their lives with gentle wisdom, warmth, and treasured stories.

Pat’s interests reflected her thoughtful and creative spirit. She loved reading, which allowed her to explore new worlds, and she found joy in collecting whimsical gnomes that brought a smile to everyone who saw them. Her garden bloomed with vibrant color, mirroring her nurturing nature, and her skillful cross-stitch work produced beautiful pieces that will be cherished by her family for generations.

Camping trips with her family were among Pat’s favorite memories—times filled with laughter, campfire stories, and moments of togetherness that will live on in the hearts of those she loved.

Pat was a beacon of love and kindness to all who knew her. Her compassion extended beyond her family to her friends, coworkers, and community. She lived her life with Christ as her Savior, quietly demonstrating faith through acts of charity, generosity, and genuine care for others.

As we remember Patricia Lean Webb, we celebrate a life beautifully lived and a legacy of love that will continue to inspire all who were fortunate enough to know her. Though she will be deeply missed, the imprint she left on our hearts will never fade. Her earthly journey has ended, but her spirit remains a guiding light for her family and all the lives she touched.

Pat was preceded in death by her parents, Lonnie Boyd Rickard and Mildred Leona Rickard (Perren).

She is survived by her loving husband, John Webb of Green Forest; her children, Michael Webb (wife Amanda) of Tontitown, Inga Decker (husband Brad) of Alpena, Scott Webb of Harrison, and her cherished grandchildren, Alexa, Jenavieve, Erica, and Marcus.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests that donations be made to cancerresearch.org or to a charity of your choosing.
