Berniece Webber

Berneice Smith Webber was born December 3, 1944 to John Walter Smith and Della Mae Smith in Columbus, Mississippi.

She retired from White Westinghouse after 21 years of service and began baking full-time. She enjoyed repairing antique chairs and of course cooking and helping others.

She was preceded in death by her oldest sister, Dorothy Smith and her sister, Christeine Lovelie Smith; her daughter, Tonya D. Jackson and her brother, Bennie Smith.

Berneice is survived by two sisters: Alverine Parker (James) of Grand Rapids, Michigan and Amelia Ann of California; her brother, Leroy of California; her children: oldest son, Barron Shawn Webber, Tyla J. Webber and Henry T. Webber (Terry); six grandchildren: Kevin Black (Shawn), Teron (Tonya), Geoffrey (Tyla), Terence, Tonne, Torre Webber (Terry); five great-grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins and many friends who loved her dearly. She will be missed by all, especially for her world-famous sweet potato pie.

Many thanks to her best friends: Nettie Ballard, Mary McDonald and Ms. Juanita.
