Theola Ellen Webster, 71, of Guilford, IN, died on Wednesday, November 25, 2020 at home surrounded by the family she loved. She was born on October 1, 1949 in London, KY, to Otis Jones and Elva (Mills) Jones. She met the love of her life in high school and married Thomas Webster on February 11, 1966. She raised her four children in Sunman, IN, although she was a mother to others in her life. The quintessential homemaker, caring for her family was always her highest priority.
Theola’s gentle and kind presence touched all who knew her, including the children she worked with for many years as a teacher’s aide for Sunman Dearborn schools. She loved going out with friends and family or entertaining at home watching movies or playing cards. Stories of her sense of humor will live on with family. She enjoyed antiquing, cooking/baking, reading, crafts, gardening, and traveling, but time with grandchildren was most precious. She was a member of Sunman Community Church.
Those surviving who will cherish Theola’s memory include her husband of over 54 years, Thomas Webster; children, Tamela (Darrin) Monhollen of Guilford, IN , Laura (Tom) Marine of Zionsville, IN, Matt (Molly) Webster of Cleves, OH and Andy (Karen) Webster of Pearland, TX; 10 grandchildren include Michael and Zach Monhollen, Clara and Olivia Bradford, Emily, Jack, Sam, and Max Webster and Noah and Eli Webster; one brother, John Jones of Greensburg, IN and nieces and nephews. Both parents preceded her in death, as well as a brother, Chris Jones and a sister, Allene Cartee. Her best friend, Sheila Seig, made way for her in heaven four days earlier.
Due to Covid-19, a Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. Theola will be buried near her home in Historic West Fork M.P. Cemetery.
