Paula Askew Webb
Paula Askew Webb, age 50 of Richwood, went to be with the Lord Saturday morning, January 15, 2011, at Mt. Carmel St. Ann's Hospital in Columbus. She was born July 20, 1960, in Marion to James and Ann (Norris) Askew, who both survive in Marion.
On November 22, 1980, she married Jeff Webb in the First Presbyterian Church, Marion, and he survives.
She was an active member of the Richwood Church of Christ where she was currently serving as secretary. She participated in the Richwood Church of Christ small group Bible Study, led by Willie Stoltzfus, which Paula thoroughly loved. She was very active in the Central Ohio Emmaus Community, serving on many different teams, and was an avid North Union Wildcat supporter, particularly of whichever sport in which her girls were participating. A 1978 Pleasant High School graduate, she loved being outdoors and playing tennis. She had recently been creating video tributes for many folks in the area.
On February 26, 2003 Paula was diagnosed with Stage 4 breast cancer and has been "Praising Him in the Storm" ever since. Her quiet faithfulness and dry sense of humor have been an inspiration to many.
In addition to her husband and parents, she is survived by her two daughters, Samantha and Stephanie at home; three sisters, Judi (Terry) Robinson, Wayne; Peggy (Dennis) Zimmerman, Allentown, Pennsylvania; Melissa (Don) Reid, Marion; a brother, Robert (Natalie) Askew, New Bloomington; brother and sister-in-law, Terry and Julie Webb, Marion; her mother and father-in-law, Ray and Janet Webb, Marion; special friends, Matt and Connie Haller, Richwood.
A celebration of Paula's life will be held Wednesday, January 19, 2011, at 11:00 AM in the Richwood Church of Christ with the Rev. Dr. Dennis Zimmerman and Pastor Matt Craig officiating. Burial will follow in Claibourne Cemetery. Friends may call from 3 to 8 PM on Tuesday at the Richwood Church of Christ, 29063 Sivey Road, Richwood, OH 43344.
