I am a graduate of East High's class of 1970 and had Mrs. White for Bookkeeping. She taught me the fundamentals that were an important part in my becoming the success I am today. She also helped me to get my first job during high school. What a special fondness and memory I will always have of her. My deepest sympathies to the family.

I was saddened to learn of Mrs. White's passing. I am a former student from East High School. She took an extra interest in my academics and felt accounting was in my future. I appreciate the extra attention and encouragement she gave me. Her family has my condolences. The Lord has welcomed another angel into heaven.

Dear Family,
Mrs. White was a kind and caring teacher. I was in her 1966/67 accounting class and she was also my homeroom teacher my first year at East High. I still remember her smile and soft voice.
Sincerely,

Please be comforted knowing so many hold you in their prayers for comfort and support in your time of grief.
This photo of beautiful, smiling Jeannette was taken Aug. 25 as we celebrated the upcoming wedding of Cathy Ward and Kevin Melver at WPC. Each group was given 10 minutes and 2 rolls of t.p. to adorn their chosen lady in bridal splendor.
When I remember Jeannette, this is the image of her that comes to mind.
