RIP Cher Webber

[Drunk Monk]

A dear old Rock Med Deadhead friend. Just heard on Facebook. I don’t think we saw each other in the flesh since Jerry died 30 years ago but we kept in touch over Facebook. Her partner went through a long and excruciating death a few years ago. The last time we messaged each other directly was 2 years ago, but we always liked each other’s posts. Honestly, I never fully understood our connection - we only saw each other at shows - but I shall always treasure the memory of our friendship.

COLUMBUS
Cherilyn G. “Cher” Webber, 73, of N. Lincoln Village Dr., died unexpectedly at her home on Thursday. Aug. 28.
Born on July 5, 1952 in Peoria, Illinois, Cher was the daughter of Lawrence G. Webber and Doris D. Clark. Both preceded her in death. Cher moved from Illinois to Bartholomew County in 1963, and was a member of the Class of 1970 at Columbus High School.
Upon graduation, Cher served seven years in the U.S. Navy, largely during the Vietnam War era. She was a yeoman for Classified Communications, as well as worked in Pediatrics, ICU and as an Emergency Medical Technician. As she concluded her military service, Cher worked as a physical therapist.
Cher lived in the San Francisco Bay area for approximately 20 years. In 1972, she was part of the original medical staff for Rock Med, a volunteer organization that provides emergency medical services at the largest events and venues throughout the west coast. As a result, Cher developed a life-long devotion to the Grateful Dead and Carlos Santana.
After moving back to Columbus in 1993, Cher served as a security officer for what is now Cummins, Inc.
While at Cummins, Cher met the love of her life, Larry Luedeman of Hayden. The two remained devoted to each other until his death in June 2023.
Among her survivors are two brothers, Larry (Beth) Webber of Indianapolis and Mark Webber of Hope. Cher has two surviving sisters, Kathy (Bob) Reed of Columbus and Jan (Rick) Ford of Hope. She also has several nephews and nieces residing in Indiana.
At Cher’s request, there will be no public funeral. The family is planning a private celebration of her life at a later date.
