Judith Alice Webb of Hingham passed away peacefully of natural causes on the morning of August 26, 2026, in her own home, surrounded and supported by her loving husband of 56 years, William G. (Bill) Webb.

Judith was born to parents the late John and Mertys Webb, also from Hingham. She is survived by her son Michael, his wife Anita, and their children, Lorraine, Fiona, Anna, Colleen and Anthony. She was blessed with three great grandchildren Aiden, Vincent and Lily. Niece Carleen McElroy of New Hampshire and brother and sister in law Charles and Lynne Webb of Arizona are among numerous in laws that loved and supported Judith as well.

Judith graduated from Colby College, Maine, and most notably was a secretary at The Charles Playhouse in Boston. She and Bill met at Trinity Church, Boston, married at St. John’s Church in Hingham and resided in Reading most of their married life. Alice (as she was known in town) volunteered with Creative Arts For Kids, Reading Women's Club, acted 20+ years with the Colonial Chorus Players and finished her artistic career with The Reading Community Singers. Her love of singing carried over to her choir participation at The Church of The Good Shepherd,Reading; where she also headed up the jewelry table at the annual church fair and directed the Annual Children’s Christmas Pageant.

Judith was the family travel expert and was key in navigating all of the family vacations including three cross country road trips ,annual pilgrimages to Prince Edward Island, and early trips to Disney World. She loved tending to the flower and vegetable gardens at the family home. Only too late to share did Michael learn her knack for cooking regular family dinners. Judith supplemented her income as an associate for Cerretanis supermarket (later Shaws) and supported many political activities for her party of choice.

Her favorite activity with her husband was live theatre and classical concerts throughout the North, South shore, and New England. It was a hard choice narrowing down attendance to one community theatre once she moved out of Reading, but she chose The Arlington Friends of The Drama, escorted by her son four times a year.

In the last three years, Judith relocated to The Allerton House in Hingham to be closer to her son and get the care she deserved in her later years. She enjoyed and took great pride in Saturday afternoon operas with WCRB and her coffee book and classical CD collection. She continued a lifetime hobby of knitting with a multitude of hats, mittens and scarves for donations to the church fair. She was an avid reader of The Boston Globe and with her European History college major she could engage the most inquisitive visitors with her views on the world. She will be missed, but she is at peace.

There will be no formal services, but the family will memorialize her privately according to Judith’s wishes. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations to Colonial Chorus Players, P.O. Box 443 Reading, MA 01867 or The Reading Community Singers https://readingcommunitysingers.org/support/
