Margaret Joan O‘Neal Webb, “Peggy”, passed away October 7, 2009 at home after a brief battle with cancer. Peggy was born on November 4, 1948 in Detroit, MI to Albert and Virgie Chapman O’Neal.
At the age of nine her family moved to Grosse Pointe, MI where she graduated from Grosse Pointe High School in 1966. In 1969, she married Patrick Webb, a boy she met in the seventh grade and were High School Sweethearts. They moved to Orlando in 1969 and had two sons. Peggy was a wonderful mother and wife and was known and loved a stranger to no one. She was known at the “Cool Aid” kid mom as it was not unusual for 15 – 20 of her son’s friends to show up after school at their house. Peggy still knows most of them to this day. The family moved to New Smyrna Beach in 1990. Peggy loved the beach and the small town lifestyle of New Smyrna.
She is survived by her loving husband of 40 years, Patrick; devoted sons, Paxton and his wife, Machelle Treat Webb and Patrick Webb, II; adored grandson, Trace Webb; brother, Albert and his wife, Phyllis Walker O’Neal, III and other family members, Cherie Chapman Phillips, Prudence Webb Billiu and her husband, Charlie, Priscilla Webb Schaupeter and her husband, Ronald and numerous nieces and nephews.

My deepest condolences to you Pat, Paxton and Patrick. I hope we will see you again one day.
I am so sorry I could not be there. Peggy was so imprtant to me. I loved her so much and as I write this with tears streaming down my face I am regretful that I did not see her in recent years. She was there for my birth and I will always remember her as someone who gave me advise and told me what I wanted to hear. She would do whatever it took to make us feel good. She took care of us (all the kids on the block) when we were little, and indulged us when we were teenagers. She was fun and happy and taught us to see the brighter side of life.
My deepest condolences to you, guys. Her livelyhood will not be forgotten.
See you soon Aunt Peggy!
I Love you!
Ryan,

Also, one fall the Webb family came North to Michigan to visit Pat's sisters and their families. We all went north for a weekend near Petoskey. Peggy was so excited about the colored leaves and the cool air. Well, the leaves were in their glory and the drive through the tunnel of trees toward Lake Michigan were beautiful. When we arrived at the state park and got out to walk through the sand dunes toward the Lake....she wasn't so sure .. it was COLD.
We also had some special memories at Tellico Village at Thanksgiving time with the Webb family reunions. Probably the most vivid memory was of Paxton and Patrick out on Lake Tellico in the Boston Whaler charging across the water and being as cold as they ever had been....being Floridians! They were wearing sheepskin ski caps and it was still cold.
Thank you Peggy for making our lives richer. Love you!!!
Love
JIm and Sandy
Peggy an "angel" here on earth! Can't remember the first time when Cuz and I met because we were 6 months apart in age. In those 60 years shared together I do know that Peggy touched everything (people, animals, plants) with LOVE and caring for others and LOVED GIVING. She never met a stranger. Pat and Peggy's
"door" ALWAYS open...and a revolving one where friends and family of a lifetime constantly enter. The devotion of Pat, Paxton,Patrick,Trace equals the love she has for them. Each time Cuz and I talked she would share events of the day. Sometimes the pronounciation of words "bandages" (esoteric)...no more of those cuz... would have us laughing till you know what. Most of all she shared her deep love for each of you and the
"adventures" of the day. Whether it was playing football inside with Trace, Micelle and Paxton's frequent visits, Patricks booming in and out to "check" on Mom and Dad, and Pat taking care of her. After all in her teens Peggy called me and said "Cuz, I met the man I am going to marry!!!" A family that is always taking care of each other AND others. Even if it meant moving, or driving, flying (not Peggy's fave thing ;-) when she got older...of miles to be "there" for others (strays cats, dogs, pigeon, people :-). Footprints in the Sand "Cuz"! Faith,Hope,and Love is what you have given each of us everyday of our lives. TY! TY to each of you for making your home a bit of heaven on earth. LOVE U SOOO! XOXOXO Cherie (Cuz)
Sending my sympathy for you loss. Katie Spindell sent me the relationship outlined at the bottom of this e-mail.
Mine is the same to #3, substitute Russell R. Spindel, Marvel's brother. I am his youngest daughter Janet (Sue) Spindel Lee,
I'm less than a year older than Peggy. In reading about her I feel some connection, I too married my pre-
high school sweetheart. We have one daughter and one grandson,he's now 18 years old. Again, I express my sorrow
for your loss. My prayers ask that you all receive blessings on the 24th from those who come together with you to
celebrate Peggy's life.

We are so terribly sorry to hear of Peggy's passing as this was such a surprisesince we thought she had 'licked the cancer'. What a wonderful wife, mom and friend she has been to so many of us, always making us all feel so welcomed in coming to your home. She will be terribly missed, yet now she can rest in peace. We leave you all with this verse: 2 Corithians 1:3 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God." We love you - Jeanne, Dan & Elaine
