Virginia White Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Sep. 9, 2024.
Virginia Josephine White, known affectionately as Ginny, passed away of natural causes on September 4, 2024, in Boise, ID at the age of 83. Ginny was born in New York City, NY. She worked as a teacher for many years, and in her retirement in Orofino, ID she actively volunteered in many organizations in the area. She also cherished spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren as often as possible. She is survived by Tom Francis (Brenda), Diane Winslow (Todd), and Leo Francis (Nikki). She was preceded in death by her husband of 38 years, Gordon White, and her parents Henry and Centa Moest. Ginny and Gordon shared their home and their deep faith in Jesus with everyone they knew. Their mountain home was a special place for anyone who visited. The family will celebrate the lives of Ginny and Gordon in their hometown of Orofino, ID at a later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer's Association, Greater Idaho Chapter, on behalf of Ginny and Gordon.

...Christ in you the hope of glory. Colossians 1:27

We had many great backpacking trips with Gordon and Ginny in Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Almost every year we would do a week long trip together and in the winter we often did ski trips. Gordon and Ginny were always fun to be with and we have many fond memories of them. David and Ann McQuade

I first knew Ginny when I saw her name all over the high school covers of my cousin, Lynn Francis, and then we became friends each summer when she lived in the Francis house in Teaneck, where I also stayed each summer. I visited her in PA & Wichita, KS & later in Idaho. In Idaho I grew to love Gordon White also, & he provided Ginny with a wonderful life. Ginny & I always kept in touch, & had lots of laughs. LONG ago, she told me how much Diana loved my LONG hair. SO many memories. I miss her.
