Katherine (Kathy) Lynn Webb

After a long and courageous battle with ovarian cancer, Kathy Webb (nee LeBarron) passed away peacefully at Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice surrounded by family on November 11, 2026. Kathy is survived by her husband of 44 years, Robertson Webb, and her siblings Greg (Christine) LeBarron and Joy (Rodney) Moors. Kathy is the loving mother of Matthew (Jess) Webb, Cameron (Katherine) Webb, and Allison (TK) Montgomery and the proud grandmother of Riley Webb. Kathy is predeceased by her parents Keith and Helene LeBarron, and her dogs Chong, Sky, and Trapper. She will be fondly remembered by her nieces, nephews, and many friends.

Kathy was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario. She was the oldest of 3 siblings and one of two girls. As a young woman she was very active in sports, learning to bake (later having baked goods ribbon at the Carp Fair), and enjoying the outdoors. Kathy attended post-secondary school at Algonquin College and was a graduate of the Dental Hygienist Class of 1981. She worked for Dr. Metric and at Hog’s Back Dental Clinic for a combined 41 years, taking great pride in her work and a personal interest in all of her patients, remaining in contact with many long after she retired. She continued being active into adulthood and enjoyed spending her time going to the theatre, gardening, skiing, and playing touch football & softball. Where she participated as an active player/manager in the Barrhaven Women’s Softball League and continued to go to the diamond to support friends and teammates for as long as she was able. Throughout her life she enjoyed exploring, being at the cottage, and taking day trips with her lifelong partner Rob. They Honeymooned in Hawaii, traveled to Newfoundland & Churchill, rode the Rocky Mountaineer, and took many ski trips together. They would often spend time together at the cottage on Lake Clear with family and friends. The cottage was Kathy’s happy place, where she could be found reading, gardening, or visiting neighbours. Wherever Kathy went she always made friends and would be the first to help out. Kathy loved to spend time with her grand-daughter Riley, playing with her, reading to her, or just watching her go about her day. They would regularly have evening video calls over dinner or to say Goodnight to one another.

The family wishes to thank all of our family, friends, the staff at the cancer unit (General Campus), the PSW’s, her Palliative care doctors, Dr. Goindi & Dr. Whetter, and all the nurses who cared for her along this journey. As well as the nurses at Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice for the kind, respectful and compassionate care they provided to Kathy.
