Twila Webb, 88, passed way on Monday, November 16, 2020 in the comfort of her own home. Twila was blessed with a long life. She faced many challenges, but the good memories will outlast all the sad ones. Twila and her husband, Leonard were all about family. While Leonard worked in the coal industry, Twila was a busy homemaker and also worked for the Raleigh County School system, retiring from Crescent Elementary School with 20 years of service. She had many interests, reading and crafting, and she loved to quilt. Late in life Twila has become a “computer geek.” She loved her friends on Facebook and computer gaming. Twila and Leonard worshiped at the Eccles First Baptist Church.
