Nellie was born October 6, 1921 in Daugherty, Texas and was preceded in death by her husband of 61 years, R. L. (Buck) Webb. She is survived by daughters, Gayle Webb, Melba Roach, Donna and husband Steve Maschewski, and Carla Webb; She is also survived by five grandchildren - Lori Barber, Phillip Casados, Kara Brock, Debra West, Amy Sedillo; and eight great-grandchildren. Nellie was the fifth and youngest child of Gus and Josie Ray. As a young woman, she was an avid athlete and won many trophies and titles playing basketball, tennis, and baseball. Throughout her life she loved sports, fishing, sewing, and gardening and was always looking for a challenging project. Buck and Nellie came to Albuquerque from Matador, Texas in 1954 where they made their home. Nellie was a woman of many talents and master of them all. She loved to work and stay busy. She owned Webb's Grocery Market, Webb Upholstery, sold Tupperware and was co-owner, costume designer and seamstress of Accent Uniforms. Nellie stood up to the business of living. She told many interesting and funny stories of her childhood, of the hardships of the Great Depression, of the devastation of the Dust Bowl, and of the support she gave to the troops and her family during WWII.
