It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Lillian Ruth White, born on March 22, 1947, in Dallas, Texas. Lillian peacefully departed this life on August 30, 2025, surrounded by her cherished memories and the love of her family.

Lillian was a devoted beautician whose passion for cosmetology brought joy and beauty into the lives of those she served. She was known not only for her exceptional skills but also for her kindness, friendliness, and vibrant spirit. She had a remarkable ability to connect with everyone she met, leaving a lasting impact on her community.

Lillian's immense love for her family was a central part of her life. Her faith was a guiding force, and she devoted herself to her church community, where she found solace and fellowship among her church family. Notably, Lillian actively participated in a sewing group that created lap quilts for nursing homes, a testament to her compassionate nature and commitment to serving others.

In her leisure time, Lillian cherished her creativity, engaging in large craft projects, sewing, quilting, and baking, all of which brought her immense joy. Lillian had a particular fondness for the color yellow and the fragrant scent of jasmine. She adored her faithful dog, Rebel, and had an extensive collection of bird figurines which brightened her home.

Throughout her life, Lillian exemplified resilience in the face of health challenges, demonstrating an unwavering spirit and a strong belief in Christ. Those who knew her admired her generosity and her ever-present readiness to help, often carrying kleenex, candy, and her trusty haircutting scissors in her purse, prepared for any moment to lend a hand.

In her final weeks, after the passing of her beloved husband, Roger, Lillian sought independence and reclaimed joy in her daily activities, attending church, enjoying game nights, and indulging in her favorite pastimes.

Lillian Ruth White will be remembered for her boundless kindness, faith, and love - values that resonate deeply within those she touched. May her memory continue to inspire us all.
