Thelma A. White

Thelma Ann White passed away peacefully in Pataskala, Ohio on August 23, 2020. She was born May 21, 1929 to the late William and Luella (Lewis) Butler. Thelma is preceded in death by her daughters Evelyn Sue Parkinson and Donna Parkinson Hornsby. She is survived by her children David White (Linda Eisel), Brenda (Don) Brown and Tom (Joyce) White Sr. Thelma leaves behind her 8 grandchildren Jesse (Kim) Parkinson, Russ (Shelly) Parkinson, Shawn (Kristina) Brown, Shannon (Jenny) Brown, Heather (Matt) Cairney, Jonathan (Carmen) White, 18 great-grandchildren, 3 great-great grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews. Thelma lived at the corner of Main and Broadway Street in Pataskala, Ohio for 72 years. She received her diploma in 1947 and worked for Commercial Motor Freight and Central Ohio Telephone, but she will be remembered for her Christmas fruitcakes and famous pies. She was dedicated to her family and expressed her deep love openly and often. She was a born-again Christian and loved the Lord. In our sadness, we hold onto what she often said, “The first 100 years are the hardest.” Graveside service will be Monday, August 31, 2020 at 1:00 PM at Pataskala Cemetery.
