Edmund Webber

Age - 76

December 3, 2023

Our father was a country song. He has gone to "rest high on that mountain," his "work on earth is done. " Edmund Bradley Webber, 76, of Sutton, Vermont, passed away in the early morning hours of November 30th, 2023. Dad, who was born on June 17th, 1947, grew up in East Haven, Vermont with his parents Archie L. Webber, Sr. and Elsa M. Webber, his older brother "Pete," his older sisters Ruth and Charlene, and his younger brother, Dwight. He was "raised on country sunshine," with barn chores, haying, snow shoveling, cutting wood, gardening, fishing, and hunting occupying his days. Tragedy struck early for Dad, he was just 8 years old when Pete was murdered; a defining moment in his life that was never far from his thoughts. In his early twenties he and our mother, Lena (nee Rivers), swore "I’ll love you til I die," headed to the "chapel of love" and got married. Eventually, the three of us came along. There were some good times and some rough times, but Dad kept the wise-cracks coming and there was always a country song playing in the background. As kids we lived in East Haven and Dad liked to hang out with his "friends in low places," his brothers-in-law, Scott and Robert Rivers. They liked a "cold beer on a Friday night," swearing, smoking cigarettes, and "fixing" cars. Looking back, it seems like maybe they were putting together Johnny Cash’s Psycho-Billy Cadillac, "one piece at a time. " When Mom wasn’t home Dad had a way of pacing the house, singing along to the record player in his Conway Twitty growl. Sometimes, when Faron Young came on he would stand still, look really seriously at us and then sing, "Hello, walls / How’d things go for you today?" and then give us that old Eddie grin. Our "daddy was a pistol," and those days in East Haven reside in our minds as "precious memories" that "fly across the lonely years. " Eventually Dad and Mom went their separate ways. Life was less "I’ll love you til I die" and more, "you got to know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em / know when to walk away and know when to run. " Dad went to Connecticut where he ended up marrying his second wife, Mona. They let "country roads take [them] home" to the NEK when they learned she had terminal cancer and she passed away in 1993. His older sister, Ruthie, passed away in 2001 and his grandson, Jason Jr. , known as Little-J, passed away in 2002. Dad was "no stranger to the rain" and spent many years reading, gardening, and puttering around his home in Sutton, with his memories of joy and grief, laughter, and of "Sunday mornin’ comin’ down. " For many years he and Carol Sue Camber shared in their joys together; they were great friends and companions until she passed away in 2021. Dad spent his last few years at "The Pines" in Lyndonville wishing his health would allow him to go home. He was the epitome of a "country boy can survive" but he also knew that "it all ends in a slow ride in a hearse" or maybe, in his case, an old Psycho-Billy Cadillac, and he passed away without going home again. In the summer of 2024, we will hold a memorial service where we will sing Dad to rest with "pure sweet love" as he takes his last journey on the "wings of a snow white dove. " Eddie’s kids: Holli Fenoff, Heidi Webber Jenkins, and Jason Webber, Sr. Memories and condolences may be shared with the family at www. guibordfh. comShow more

Age - 79

December 2, 2023

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Myrna Muse Kelly on Wednesday, November 29, 2023, at the age of 79. Heaven's choir gained an angel, and the earth lost a radiant spirit. Born on September 27, 1944, in Harlan County, Kentucky, Myrna wove a life rich in love, music, and an unwavering commitment to family. A cheerleader and majorette during her high school years, Myrna's love for rhythm never waned. Her home resonated with melodies, and she found joy in gospel music, singing, and playing the piano. Her love for Kentucky, her birthplace, ran deep. Myrna was a proud coal miner's daughter and honorary Kentucky Colonel. She loved her heritage and was a passionate fan of Kentucky Wildcat basketball. Myrna loved animals big and small. Any furry varmint could find a soft spot in her heart (including her husband Jim when he grew a mustache in 1978). Growing up, she made pets out of her father's hunting dogs, mules and even a groundhog. This love for animals and a compassionate heart remained a constant throughout her life. The heart of Myrna's world was her family. She was their architect of fun and adventure, creating cherished memories through road trips, family reunions, and camping adventures! A devoted daughter, Myrna lovingly cared for her parents in their later years. Her marriage to Jim was a shared journey of dreams. Their upcoming 50th wedding anniversary in January was a milestone she had eagerly awaited, standing as a testament to their love. Myrna is preceded in death by her father, Howard Muse, mother, Irene Muse, sister, Barbara Mink, and son, Jeffrey Kelly. She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Jim Kelly of Lafollette, TN; her son and daughter-in-law, Rick and Elley Kelly of Dallas, TX; her chosen daughter, Beverly Jones of Sherman, TX; niece, Ginger Sabolcik of Chicago, IL; and nephew, Jerry Collier of Lynchburg, VA. We celebrate Myrna's life and the unconditional love she shared. Her legacy of love, music, and compassion will forever echo in the hearts of those she touched. A celebration of Myrna's life will take place on Friday, December 15th, from 5-7pm at Walters Funeral Home in LaFollette, TN, with a graveside service on Saturday, December 16th at noon at Rock Springs Cemetery in Gatliff, KY.
