Mrs. Webb Deutschman spent her life in the Winamac, Star City, and Lake Bruce areas. She graduated from Winamac High School in 1941. In 1945, she received her bachelor's degree from Hanover College at Madison where she was a member of Phi Mu Sorority. Over the years she became close friends with several ladies, and they only recently stopped getting together every year. In 1946, she joined the staff of the Pulaski County Democrat (now Journal), where she worked as advertising manager for 25 years. The newspaper had been purchased in 1891 by her grandfather, the late Joseph J. Gorrell of Winchester. The paper subsequently came under the ownership of the late E.C. "Ned" Gorrell, Janet Gorrell Meyer, and Richard R. Dodd all of Winamac. After retiring, she enjoyed painting and appreciated the friendship of other artists. She won several honors in painting and served as a show judge several times. She belonged to the Pulaski County Art Association, was a life member of the Logansport Art Association, and held membership in the Hoosier Art Salon in Indianapolis. She was an active member of the Presbyterian Church both at Winamac and Rochester where she served as Elder, Deacon, Clerk of the Session, and treasurer.  She was beloved to many in the community and will be dearly missed.
