A lifelong resident of Aiken County, she was the daughter of the late Johnny and Cornelia Tyre Webb. She retired from Bath Mill after many years of service.

Above all, God came first in her life, and she consistently placed the needs of her family before her own, embodying the true definition of a godly lady.
