We were saddened to hear of the recent passing of Lorene Webb of Montgomery, Texas. Lorene lived for several years in Port O’Connor, moving with her children Jo Ann (Charles) Estes and John (Joyce) Jordan. Lorene was active in the Port O’Connor Community and in 2009 celebrated a grand 90th birthday celebration at First Baptist Church.
