Gay Anne Webb

Lived – Growing up in small town Gardiner, MT, Gay Anne lived a life of fishing the Yellowstone and shenanigans with friends. In 1960, she graduated from Montana State University and married Ray Webb. Together they embarked on adventures beyond Montana. Over the years, they moved over 20 times including California, Oregon Connecticut, Indiana, Illinois, Mississippi, Colorado, Washington, and beyond. As they moved, Gay Anne always built community, formed lifelong friendships and created family memories. Through it all, she consistently chose a positive attitude regardless of the challenges.

Laughed – Gay Anne’s laugh was contagious, brightening every room she entered. Her humor and encouragement lifted spirits, reminding everyone of what truly matters.

Loved – Gay Anne loved Jesus. When asked about her religion, she would say, “it’s a relationship, not a religion.” She loved family, both by blood and beyond. She often said, “Once you’ve stepped foot in our home, you are family-what’s ours is yours.” She saw value in every person she met, treating them as new friends. Her love showed through her thoughtfulness, listening and encouragement.

Gay Anne was Montana strong, always cared and always shared. To sum up her life, she wanted to be remembered by three words: Lived – Laughed – Loved.

Gay Anne is survived by her brother, Tom Harris of Montana; daughter, Darcy Webb of Colorado; daughter-in-law, Pam Webb of Washington; and her granddaughters, Raelynn Webb of Portland and Lydia Webb of Boise.

She was preceded in death by her parents John and Hazel Harris, husband, Ray Webb and son, Roger Webb.

  • I miss that laugh and her wisdom. We were “phone” connected and shared our love for family and Montana. Ray and I were cousins and I never got to meet his family except Gay and I kept in touch after his passing. Our plan to meet, never happened here on earth but maybe in the future….. Blessings to Darcy, Pam and the girls. Lee

  • Darcy: I’m so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. She
    was a very special person. I so enjoyed our email relationship
    and the wonderful funnies she sent me. I am your dad’s
    cousin on the Ellis side of the family and granddaughter of
    Golie Ellis Marble. I haven’t seen you since you were a little
    girl, and I wasn’t much older. My prayers are with you at this
    sad time. Lots of Love

  • Vince and I feel very fortunate to have known your mom and become part of your family. She always had a smile and a wonderful sense of humor. We have so many memories and photos of the times we shared together with your folks and with you. Back in the 80’s when your parents lived in Westchester, IL we actually were at your home with you and Roger and played some board games. It was like being with family. I also feel like I got to know Pam, Raelynn and Lydia through all the Christmas letters and photos your mom sent.

    Our love and prayers go out to all of you. Gay will always be remembered. There are so many things we see each day that remind us of your mom.
