Jeannie was born December 5, 1966 in Joplin, MO. She is the daughter of the late Larry White and Michelle White of Fort Worth, TX. She grew up in Joplin and graduated from McAuley High School. She was a caregiver, homemaker and loved her work with breeding of dogs. Jeannie was a full time GiGi, MiMi and TiTi, who loved gardening, animals, nature, hiking, and her favorite hobby was crafting with her grandchildren. She had the kindest heart that loved big and felt deep. Our hearts are broken for a light that was extinguished way too soon. She will be missed beyond measure.
She was preceded in death by her grandmother Eva Jean "Mammy" Massey, grandfather Eugene "PaPa" Holloway, father Larry White, aunt and best friend Nancy Paradee, uncle Robert "Bobby" Burrus, son Logan Craig and grandson Nyles Wayne Arnold all of Joplin, MO, and her special companion, Hoggit.
