Robert Joseph Webb, Sr.

Robert Joseph Webb, Sr. age 86, of Onondaga, Michigan, passed away peacefully on Friday, May 2, 2025. He was born on February 14, 1939, in Tompkins Township, the son of Claudy and Lucille (McQuillin) Webb.

A 1957 graduate of Springport High School, Robert began his working life shortly after graduation. Over the years, he held positions with the local telephone company, Gullivers Hatchery, Eaton Rapids Hospital, and ultimately spent 28 years with Consumers Energy before retiring in 1995. Just before his retirement, Robert returned to his roots, farming the land where he was born and spent his entire life. He found great joy in working the soil, hunting on his property, and keeping a well-tended lawn.

Deeply connected to his community, Robert served as a scout leader and T-ball coach in Springport. He also cherished camping trips throughout Michigan with family and friends, creating many lasting memories along the way.

Robert was preceded in death by his parents; daughter, Janice Webb; brothers, Robert and Tom Webb; and sister, Barbara Hawes.

He is survived by his devoted wife of 64 years, Glenda (Newsom) Webb; children, Sandy (Jerry) Schroll, Jeanette (Dean) Dyer, and Robert (Candy Skinner) Webb, Jr.; 12 grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; sisters, Ann Webb and Mary Hiesler; along with many nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends.

In accordance with Robert’s wishes, no formal services will be held. Those who wish to honor his memory are invited to make donations to Pope United Methodist Church or the VFW National Home for Children.

The family extends their heartfelt gratitude to the nurses at Elara Caring Hospice for their compassionate care and support.
