Henrietta Patricia Webb, age 87 of Hughson, California passed away peacefully on Friday, February 19th, 2021. Henrietta was born January 12, 1934 to Harry Sorensen and Evelyn (nee Caldera) Sorensen in Corning, California.
Henrietta’s passions were her faith and family. Being a mother and homemaker brought her great joy. She married Walter Carl Edwards at the age of 19 and started their lives together in San Francisco. They had five children, and opened their home and hearts to multiple foster children.
In the late 60’s the Edwards family moved to Hughson, California where Henrietta became an active member of the community. She became involved with; 4-H, FFA, Lions Club, Hughson Athletic Boosters, and St. Anthony’s Catholic Church.
After the loss of her first husband, she married Richard (Dick) Webb in 1980 and moved to Oklahoma. Following Dick’s death Henrietta moved back to Hughson and began traveling. She and her sister caravanned around the United States for several years.
Upon completion of her travels, Henrietta came home to Hughson where she got to enjoy a host of grandchildren. During this time she became very active in the Denair Gaslight Theater, where she was known as “Queen of the Stargrams”. If she wasn’t in the bleachers cheering on her grandchildren, you could find her at Raley’s enjoying a cup of coffee and conversation.
