Jerry Webb

Jerry Webb, born on March 4, 1938, to the late Eugene and Bonnie Callahan Webb, passed away on the afternoon of Monday, October 14, 2019. He was 81.

Jerry was born and raised in Sallisaw, Oklahoma, where he played trombone for the Sallisaw High School Band. After graduating, he proudly served his country in the United States Army for one year and then in the United States Navy for four years. Jerry went on to attend Oklahoma State University and earned a Bachelor’s Degree in electrical engineering. He later enjoyed working as an instructor for Big Stone Gap Technical College in Big Stone Gap, Virginia. In 1978 Jerry moved to Warner Robins, Georgia, to become a Civil Servant with the Joint Stars and Star Wars Program at Robins Air Force Base. He retired from Civil Service in 2002.

Jerry loved his Savior and was a faithful and dedicated member of Central Baptist Church, always giving 110% in every duty he fulfilled. He served as a Deacon, Sunday School teacher, in the Widow’s Ministry, and in the choir. Jerry also served in Central Baptist Church Outreach where he met Nelda Bruton. They were a perfect match for each other as they were both previously married for 40 years when their first spouses passed away; Jerry had been married to Marquita Webb and Nelda to Cecil “Bill” Bruton, Jr. They married each other on January 27, 2007, and have lived happily ever since.

A real handyman, Jerry was good at everything he dabbled in, such as working on cars, gardening, taking care of the yard, plumbing, and electrical work. He was known for his warm, encouraging smile and his willingness to help any way he was needed. Those who knew Jerry know that they will never meet another like him.

In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his first wife of 40 years, Marquita June Webb.

Jerry was a dedicated family man who is survived by his loving wife of 12 years, Nelda Bruton Webb; his daughter, Terri Jane Webb of Perry; stepchildren, Angela Bruton of Nashville, Tennessee, Eric Bruton (Cheryl) of N. Augusta, South Carolina, and Kimberly Bruton (Jason Weeks) of Germany; grandchildren, Ethan William Bruton, James Hardegree, Amanda Hardegree, and Kayla Jackson; and sister, Linda Stinnett (Charles) of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma.
