Joyce White Obituary

Joyce Y. White SUFFOLK - Joyce Yvonne White, 52, of the 3800 block of Pughsville Road, went home to be with the Lord Monday, June 15, 2009, in Chesapeake Regional Medical Center. A native of Long Beach, Calif., she was a wonderful inspiration of love, encouragement, sweet innocence, and boundless humor. She will be greatly missed by us all. Survivors include her husband, Albert W. White Jr.; her son, Gregory David Smith of Moyock, N.C.; and two brothers, William B. Dillon of Norwich, Conn., and Jimmy Smith of Orlando, Fla. She is also survived by hundreds of others who count themselves blessed to have known Joyce and to have shared in her "joy of life." We all have many stories of her warmth, generosity, simple faith and endless energy. A funeral will be at 1 p.m. Thursday, June 18, in Holy Communion Lutheran Church by the Rev. Stephen McGinnis. Burial will be in Olive Branch Cemetery. The family will receive friends at Sturtevant Funeral Home, Portsmouth Blvd. Chapel, today from 7 to 8:30 p.m. www.SturtevantFuneralHome.com.
