Ray A. Webb was born August 9, 1931, in Boone County, Arkansas, to Lonnie and Valley Mae Marrison Webb. He died Saturday, August 1, 2020, in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, at the age of 88 years. Ray completed his secondary education in Bixby, Oklahoma, and graduated with the Bixby High School Class of 1950. He was a veteran of the armed forces having served his country honorably with the United States Air Force during the Korean War and was stationed in Japan. Ray was married March 10, 1956, in Bixby to Velma Fogleman. They had made their home in Owasso, Oklahoma, since 1965. Ray spent most of his working life as a mechanic with American Airlines before his retirement in 1991. He was a strong Christian man who dearly loved his church and his church family. He had served as a deacon and also taught Sunday School for many years. To say he enjoyed fellowship with fellow believers and friends is an understatement. He enjoyed fishing and playing golf. He especially enjoyed being outdoors and always staying busy. He always kept his yard in pristine condition, making sure his landscape was well maintained. He also grew a big vegetable garden and always had some to share with friends. When he was able, Ray loved to travel with Velma. They traveled all across the United States as well as abroad, including to Israel, Jerusalem, across Europe, Alaska, and the Panama Canal, just to name a few.
