Donald Lee Webster

Donald Lee “Donnie” Webster, 87 of Eminence passed away peacefully with family at

his side on May 19, 2026. Donnie was born in Port Royal to the late Cecil and Evelyn

(Raisor) Webster.

For 38 years his family business, Webster Service, was known by farmers far and wide

as the tractor mechanics to turn to when all others had “thrown in the towel” on difficult

repairs. Donnie’s customers faithfully supported his business and most became dear

friends. Webster Service was known not only for their excellent work, but also for warm

fellowship and often a hot meal cooked right there at the shop... served with a smile

and free of charge. Donnie served as a cook and large equipment mechanic in the US

Army and carried those skills throughout his life. When asked about retirement, he

would reply, “Why would I retire when I like to work on tractors? My customers are my

closest friends!”

As much as Donnie enjoyed his work, his family was his pride and joy. His happiest

days were spent hunting, fishing, visiting, playing Bluegrass music, cooking and

celebrating special occasions with loved ones. His country hams were the highlight of

countless holiday meals!

Donnie was preceded in death by his wife of 52 years, Louise (Wilson) Webster;

beloved daughter, Lisa Michelle Berry; brothers, Vivian Ray Webster and Oren “Boz”

Webster; sisters, Judy Robison, Sandra Staten, Mary Louden and Deanie Wolfe.

Survivors include sons, Randy (Diana) Berry, Tony (Jo Lynn) Berry and Steve (Billie)

Webster; grandchildren, Chad Mattingly, Tara Wright, PT Webster, Chantz Berry, Skylar

Berry, Sydney Berry and Olivia Berry; brothers, Everett Webster; sisters, Vicky Feller

and Wilma Suter and 10 great-grandchildren.

service at 1:00 p.m. at Prewitt’s Funeral Home, 425 N. Main St., New Castle, KY 40050.
