Obituary for VaLeska Webb
VaLeska, born February 13, 1925 and passed November 15, 2010. Preceding her were her parents, two husbands, a sister, a daughter and two grandsons. During the early 40’s she left Des Moines, Iowa on the train with her son Leonard. Leonard, Senior was in the Army. She settled in Torrance, California and worked at Douglas Aircraft, Long Beach for nine years. The family enjoyed many camping trips. After a divorce VaLeska relocated to Ridgecrest, California and then to Yuma, Arizona where she resided for many years. She married Hurley Webb and they had great fun riding the country on Harleys. They became “snow birds” and spent time in San Felipe, Mexico enjoying fishing. She was a creative person and worked with various crafts and lived her life doing what she wanted to do. She also looked forward to spending time with her sister in Long Beach, CA. She was a spunky lady. VaLeska is survived by son, Leonard Burton, and daughter-in-law Violet, Brookings, OR; grandson Daniel Burton, Peoria, AZ; granddaughters Tammy Burton, Inglewood, CA and Laurie Kennedy, Omaha, NE; step grandson Sean Solomon, Huntington Beach, CA; nine great grandchildren and three great, great grandchildren.
