She was a devoted member of Fondren Presbyterian Church in Jackson, MS where she served in many capacities including Education Committee Chair and every other activity that was a part of the congregation’s success.
It can be said that Mrs. White was a person who loved with her whole heart. There was not a student or friend who did not know that they were loved and cherished. Her passing has left a hole in our hearts that will never be filled. Please know that if she knew you, you held a special place in her heart.
