Myrtle Elizabeth Stamey, born in North Carolina on September 25, 1934, and known in her married life as Myrtle Webb and later as Myrtle Ezzell. She was a woman of immense resilience and will to survive. Myrtle peacefully passed away at Fletcher Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center on October 24, 2024, at the age of 90.

She married young to Roy Lee Webb and gave birth to three sons. As a young mother, she provided a stable home for her family.

After retiring, her purpose shifted to the care of her dogs.

She is survived by her brother, Raymond Stamey, and his wife, Rosemary, along with their two children, Stephanie and Elizabeth; her oldest son, Bobby Lee Webb, and his wife, Linda, along with their three children: Cynthia “Cindy” (and her husband, Rodney Kemp), Todd (and his wife, Tonia Webb), and Rebecca “Becky” (and her husband, Bradley McClough); Cathy Webb, the wife of Billy Ray Webb, survives with their son, Alex Webb; her youngest son, Roy Allen Nice-Webb, and his wife, Karen, along with their  three children: Kiva Nice-Webb (and her husband, Quinn Rosenthal), Christin Nice-Webb, and Leticia “Lee” Nice-Webb.
