LIFE HAS NOT ENDED BUT MERELY CHANGED.

THE WORK REP. WHITE DID, SPOKE FOR HER. SHE HAS LIVED A LIFE OF HIGH HOPES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR HER COMMUNITY. SHE DID WHAT SHE COULD WHEN SHE COULD.

I REMEMBER WRITING A ONE ACT PLAY WHICH INCLUDED MRS. WHITE AS ONE OF THE CHARACTERS. I THINK SHE MISSED IT EVERY TIME IT WAS PERFORMED. I LIKED HER.

SHE ALWAYS MADE US WELCOME AT THE STATE HOUSE.

MY PRAYERS ARE WITH THE FAMILY.

To The Family of the Late: Rep Juanita White
When I first moved here one of my first encounters in the polictical field of Jasper County was with Miss Juanita. I had the pleasure of being (Schooled) as she would put it. What I will keep in my heart for always, with her it was alright to agree to disagree, she respected my viewpoints. She was a "I'm gonna get the job done" kind of person, always involved in what would bring changes in Jasper County. Started out from Yamacraw projects climbed up to the Statehouse in Columbia, what a journey. RIP Mrs. White your job is completed.
