Betty was born March 16, 1932 to the late Holland and Edith Kiger. After graduating from Waynesburg High School in 1950, she married Charles White on July 23, 1950 and remained happily married until his passing on June 4, 2005. Betty was a longtime member of Washington Street United Methodist Church. In addition to raising her two sons, she worked as an assistant to the late Dr. Paul Greenlee, as a clerk at McCracken's Pharmacy and as a cashier at Waynesburg Central High School. Betty was legendary among family and friends for her love of shoe shopping, cooking, gardening, keeping up with family news, and for keeping an impeccably clean and tidy house.
She is survived by her sons, Stephen L. White (Jaclyn Herring) and Randy White (Helen); five grandchildren (Brennen and Kenna White; Jason White (Jayme), Tracy Eberhardt (Jonathan) and Christopher White (Danielle Dratch)); six great-grandchildren (Alexandria, Kayla, Ellie, Paige, Taylor and Danika); and several nieces, nephews and longtime friends.
In addition to Betty’s husband and parents, she was preceded in death by two brothers, Jack Kiger and Richard Kiger; and a sister, Janice Berdine.
