Jane White

After graduating high school, Jane married her high school sweetheart John C. White. She was a homemaker who supported and followed her husband through dental school and a career in the U.S. Army. Jane was an avid reader and developed a love of cacti and the desert southwest. She and John were very active in local organizations like the El Paso Cactus and Rock society and The Chihuahuan Desert Wildlife Rescue.

Jane was a talented artist who made and sold jewelry at the Ardovino's Desert Crossing Farmers Market for years. She was a great cook and delighted friends and family with an array of delicious Christmas cookies and candies each year.

Jane was a warm, generous and sweet person who made friends wherever she went. She laughed easily and loved her family unconditionally.
