Joni Webb

Loving wife, mother, sister, and loyal friend, passed away unexpectedly at home on October 9, 2023, from sudden health complications. Joni Cohen Webb was born November 20, 1954, she was preceded in death by her parents, Ralph D. Cohen, Sonia Zubowski Cohen, Betty Rae Cohen, and her brother Steven Cohen. Joni is survived by her husband Benjamin Keith Webb, her daughter Sarah Elisabeth Webb Duncan (Robert), and her sisters Cathy Wise (Robert) and Melanie Chotiner. She is also survived by her many loving cousins, nieces, nephews, friends, and her beloved dog, Nellie. Joni studied Interior Design at The University of Texas at Austin and was a member of Alpha Epsilon Phi. Joni’s life truly blossomed when she met her soulmate, Benjamin Keith Webb. The evening her father and mother met Ben for the first time, Ralph proposed that Ben marry his daughter. On February 13, 1988, as it was predestined, Ben and Joni wed. After years of trying to start a family, on March 29, 1991, Joni and Ben welcomed their only child, Sarah Elisabeth Webb. Joni’s family was her pride and joy. She called them “The Three Musketeers”. Endless memories were made in their beautifully decorated home in West University Place, Texas, and at their summer retreat in South Padre Island, Texas. In June 2022, Ben and Joni accomplished their ultimate goal and moved down to Galveston, Texas. They both found peace and happiness living by the beach and were eager to create new memories. Ahead of her time, Joni was a pioneer in the art of interior design blogging during the early 2000s. Her blog, Cote de Texas, had an international following. Staying abreast of the latest technology and design trends, she was always plugged into the internet. Known for her loyalty, generosity, kindness, and of course, her impeccable taste. Not only did Joni leave her mark on many homes, but she also left her mark on many people’s hearts forever. A private graveside service was held at Congregation Beth Israel Memorial Garden, with Rabbi Adrienne Scott officiating. Joni’s final wish would have been that any donations in her memory be made to either the Jewish Federation of Greater Houston (www.houstonjewish.org) or to the charity of your choice.
