Joyce K. Webber, 86, died peacefully on Tuesday, June 17, in Oak Harbor, Wash.

Born February 20, 1928 to Charlie and Gertrude Kilgore, Joyce graduated from Anacortes High School in 1946 and attended Linfield College. She married John Webber in Anacortes in 1952, and they had a wonderful life together until his death in 1996.

Joyce loved gardening and beach walks on Guemes Island, travel and socializing with her friends. She was involved in many community activities and had a radiant smile that could light up a room.

She is survived by her children, Jayne Mardesich of Anacortes and Jay Webber of Bellevue; and brother Richard Kilgore of Mandeville, La. She is also survived by five grandchildren, Brendan, Matthew and Nikolas Mardesich and Jamie and Catelyn Webber, all of whom live in the area and brought great joy to her later years.

The family would like to thank the staff of Harbor Care-Regency on Whidbey for their care, insight and respect over the last several years.

Memorials may be made to Hospice of the Northwest, 227 Freeway Drive #A, Mount Vernon, WA 98273. Or, as Joyce would have loved, plant a flower and watch it bloom.

Joyce requested no formal funeral service be conducted. Arrangements were entrusted to Wallin Funeral Home. Friends and family are encouraged to share memories and condolences on Joyce’s Book of Memories page at www.wallinfuneral home.com
