Helen Lucille Hall Webb of Christiansburg, Virginia went to her Lord’s arms in heaven and was reunited with her beloved husband of 70 years, Wayne (“Billy Wayne”) Webb on March 23, 2018. Helen and Wayne are probably strolling and square dancing across heaven right now.
Helen was born in Hillsville, Va., on January 13, 1929. She was also preceded in death by her parents Raymond and Cornelia Hall, her sisters Louise Huff and Bernice Iroler and her brothers Douglas Hall, Wallace Hall and Larry Hall.
Over the years Helen worked at the Hillsville Hosiery Mill and Sprague Electric in Hillsville, Va. and Guynn’s Department Store and the Virginia Tech University Book Store in Blacksburg, Va. She enjoyed Square Dancing and liked to read, sew, knit, crochet, macamé, tole paint among other crafts. Helen was a charter member of the Hillsville (Disciples of Christ) Christian Church in Hillsville,Va. that was established in 1941. Last October she was recognized at the Hillsville Christian Church’s annual Homecoming as 1 of 2 living charter members. Helen was an active member of the Blacksburg Christian Church where she served as Deaconess and as a member of the Disciples Women Ministry. She also assisted her husband in creating presents for Mother’s Day, as well as Christmas gifts and candy filled Easter eggs for the children of the church. They became known as “Him” and “Her” by the children. Wedding and Baby Shower honorees received a basket made by Wayne filled with a hand knit wash cloth and strawberry/rhubarb j a.m. home made by Helen along with a gift card. For 14 years she worked with the RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Programs) in various community efforts.
