Laverne (Brown) Kinard Webb

Laverne Kinard Webb, age 88, of 1610 Lambtown Road, Vienna, died Sunday, November 8, 2020, at her residence.

Born in Cordele, she was the daughter of the late James Talmadge Brown and Faye Moon Brown.  She was valedictorian of her class at East Crisp High School.  After James Kinard returned from military service, they were married and had three daughters that Laverne cherished with her entire being.  Laverne worked at Cordele Banking Company and Citizens Bank in Vienna for over 40 years.  Customers would stand in line to have her wait on them.  During this time, she also developed a real estate business that continued to support her in later life.  Laverne will be remembered most  by her loved ones for her willingness to give of herself and to love dearly.  This was evident as she sat in diners, in homes and by the bedside of those that she loved dearly.  In later life, she married Homer Webb.  Laverne was a member of Shiloh United Methodist Church.
