Mrs. White will be remembered as a loving Mother and Grandmother (aka Mama Jean) who was selfless throughout her life, always putting the interests of others first. She cared for her family with soft words and unwavering support. She was always there and shared generously her time, talents and resources throughout her life to help family and friends. We will all miss her deeply.
