June 11, 1929 — January 25, 2017
Longtime Plymouth resident, Lois Jean Webster, 87, passed away following a brief illness on Wednesday afternoon in the St. Vincent Hospice in Indianapolis with her family at her side.
With Jean’s sudden passing, her family would like to express on her and their behalf the appreciation of knowing that she has had the comforting support of caring neighbors, friends, Plymouth E.M.S., St. Joseph Regional Medical Center, and especially Dr. Holm and the staff of the Holm Medical Clinic.
Jean was born the daughter of Albert and Sarah B. (Kuhns) Cook in Walton, Indiana on June 11, 1929. She was raised there and graduated in 1947 with a class of nine. In her youth she played piano at her family’s place of worship.
She then met John Robert Webster and the couple was married in Logansport, Indiana on May 14, 1949, and they made Plymouth their home. Bob had preceded her in death on December 27, 2002.
For many years, Jean had the position of Student Loan Officer with the State Exchange Bank, serving the branches in Plymouth, Culver, Argos and LaPaz and retired from NorCen Bank.
Jean’s grandchildren and great-grandchildren were the light of her life. She enjoyed reading, calligraphy, maintaining her home, frequenting the public library and following Purdue football and basketball.
She was a longtime member of the First United Methodist Church in Plymouth and was involved with the Marshall County Historical Society and Museum.
