Jacqueline L. “Jackie” Webb, 88, passed away Sunday, February 8, 2026, at Friendship Village of Sunset Hills.
Jackie was born Aug. 2, 1937 in Alton. Her mother was Mildred (Wagenblast) Willis and her step father was Melvin T. Willis. She was a 1955 graduate of Alton Senior High School.
Jackie married Robert “Bob” Webb July 3, 1955 at Main Street Methodist Church in Alton. They recently celebrated their 70th anniversary.
Jackie and Bob had 4 children, two sons, Scott and his wife Bonnie Webb of Brighton and Tim and his wife Rhona Webb of Billings, MT; two daughters, Tammy Goodson of Sulphur, LA and Jana Webb and her wife Kathe Carter of Eureka; 9 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. She is also survived by her husband Bob and two sisters, Pat (Rick) Wells and Donna Hardin, all of Alton; and a brother, Tom Willis of Salt Lake City, UT.
She was preceded in death by her parents and a sister, Sharyn Aljets.
After working at Illinois Bell Telephone Co. from 1953 to 1990, she retired. She and Bob enjoyed touring the United States in their motor home, spending 13 winters in Florida enjoying the warmer climate, spending time with friends, and teaching oil painting. Another activity she enjoyed was playing her dulcimer with the Port Charlotte Dulcimer group. She also loved spending time with the grandkids and great grandchildren playing dominos, baking cookies, and doing crafts. Her most recent passion was playing Bingo at Friendship Village and was lovingly referred to as the Bingo Queen.
Per Jackie’s wishes, cremation rites have been accorded, and a Celebration of Life will be held at a future date. Memorial donations may be sent to St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital or the 5 A’s animal shelter.
