Walter C

Webber

Life Reflections

Walter C Webber was born on January 16, 1950, to the loving union of Dee and Mandy Webber. He confessed Christ at an early age and joined Shady Grove Missionary Baptist Church in McCondy, Mississippi. Throughout his years of Christian service, Walter faithfully served as a deacon, Sunday School teacher, and Sunday School Superintendent. His life reflected a love for God, family, fellowship, and community.

For 38 years, Walter devoted himself to his work as a bender at B & W. After retirement, he embraced the gift of time and enjoyed life to the fullest. He loved fishing and hunting, but perhaps his greatest joy was being surrounded by family. Whenever family gathered, Walter C was often the life of the party, bringing laughter, warmth, stories, and a spirit that made everyone feel at home. Walter C was also an avid sports fan who proudly cheered for the West Point High School Green Wave football team, the Mississippi State Bulldogs football team, and the Miami Dolphins. Whether watching from the stands or enjoying a game surrounded by family and friends, he loved the excitement, fellowship, and friendly competition that came with football season. His loyalty to his favorite teams was unmistakable, and cheering them on became another special part of the life and memories he shared with those he loved. His presence was a blessing, and his memories will continue to bring smiles to the hearts of those who knew and loved him.

On April 1, 1972, Walter C and Grace Wofford entered the sacred covenant of Holy Matrimony, committing themselves to walk together in love, faith, and devotion before God. Through 53 years of marriage, they shared life's joys and challenges, building a family grounded in love. To this blessed union, two children were born.
