Earl White Obituary
Earl Chester White, age 79, of Hiawassee, Georgia passed away Friday, January 24, 2025. Chester was born July 2, 1945 to the late Earl White and Willie Mae (Foster) Spivey in Akron, Ohio. From 1984-1989 he ran Chester White Construction and then owned and operated Chester White Quarry for over thirty one years. He was a hard worker all of his life, as his family put it a slave driver but also one of the most kind-hearted men you would ever meet. Over the years he spent many nights playing his banjo and singing at benefits for people. He was a one of a kind man who had a great sense of humor and will be deeply missed.
He is preceded in death by his parents. He is survived by his wife, Evilyn White; daughter, Willisa (Lee) Carney; sons, Clevey (Nenita) White; Stacey (Audrie) White; grandchildren, Lucas Murphy, Leah Carney, Levi Carney, Dylan White; five great-grandchildren; and many extended family and friends.
