Doris Wolfe Webb, the family matriarch, loving mother, grandmother and great grandmother passed away peacefully on Monday, August 10th, 2020 at home with family by her side. She was 89 years old.
Doris was born on October 2nd, 1930 in Fayette County, PA to the late Nancy Pearl Sutton and Earl Wolfe. The family then moved to Merrifield, VA where they opened a restaurant called the "Blue & White". After graduation Doris worked at the pentagon in Washington, DC where she met and married her husband of 59 ½ years after only 3 weeks of dating. Doris and Jack then moved to Delaware.
Doris worked at The Good Club of Surry and Winklers restaurants in Wilmington, DE before beginning her career with the New Castle County School District. She retired from the Red Clay Consolidated School District after 30 years of faithful service.
Doris loved crabbing and fishing, in fact she would say "If there isn't any crabs in heaven, then I'm not going". She also enjoyed ceramics, crocheting, oil painting, and making quilts but most of all she loved doing counted cross stitch, in which she won several awards at the Delaware State Fair.
Doris was fun loving, always with a quirky saying, and she had a ton of them.
She was preceded in death by her husband Jack N. Webb, her son Michael K. Webb, brother George E. Wolfe, and Sisters Joanna Gail George and Norma Jean Bell.
She leaves to cherish her beloved daughter Jacqueline Webb, her three grandsons, Steven M. Bierlein, Michael K. Webb, and Timothy M.
