Paula Jo (Hawf) Webb

Paula Jo Webb, 66, of Marion, Illinois, passed away Sunday, December 26, 2021, at SIH Herrin Hospital.

She was born September 8, 1955, in Mt. Carmel, Illinois, the daughter of William Paul and Gretchen Jane (Hipsher) Hawf. Paula graduated from Johnston City High School. She was a member of Orio Presbyterian Church.

After high school Paula started a career as a CNA, working for many health care facilities. She changed career paths and became a beautician. Later, Paula decided to follow her passion for floral designing, and began working in the floral industry. She enjoyed crafts, flower gardening and the trips she took to Mexico with her family and friends. One of her fondest memories of Mexico was celebrating her sister, Jama’s, birthday there.
