Gladys Webb, 90, of Georgia and Florida most of her life, died peacefully Monday, July 26, 2010 in Albuquerque, NM. She was born on November 20, 1919 in Chester, GA to John A. and Jewell Burgess and lived most of her childhood in South Georgia. Gladys married Lupo Webb on January 7, 1939 in Thomaston, GA, and raised her children there. They moved to Florida in the 1970’s, where she resided until late September of 2009, when her health required her to move to NM to be close to her daughter. She was very active in her church. Gladys was a social butterfly who would light on everybody's shoulder, never meeting a stranger. She was the "Georgia Peach" to the wonderful staff at The Cottages of Albuquerque, where she lived at the time of her death. Gladys was a true "Southern Belle." She was a loving mother, grandmother and great-grandmother and will be deeply missed by all who knew her. Gladys was preceded in death by her husband of 65 1/2 years, Lupo Webb; grandson-in-law, Ronald Hamilton; brothers, Dick, Jack, John, and Emory Burgess; and sisters, Bessie Spillers, Lillie Mae Henslee, and Mary Ellen Jones.
