OBITUARY
On Monday, October 7, 2024, Miriam White Euton, wife, best
friend and travel companion of her husband of 51 years, died peacefully in her
sleep and was immediately embraced by her Lord and Savior at the age of 75. She
was preceded in death by her parents, John Candler and Georgia Irene White, brother
William Arthur White and brother David Franklin White. Miriam is survived by her husband Larry and
many nieces and nephews.
Miriam was born at Crawford Long Hospital in Atlanta Georgia
and moved to Decatur when she was 2 years old. She lived there until she
married Larry in 1973. She loved going to Misty Waters across the street every
chance she got. She loved roller skating and won many awards. She graduated
from DeKalb High School in 1966. Miriam and Larry met on a blind date in
January 1968, but their relationship was interrupted by Larry's four-year
military commitment. After Larry's military service, Miriam and Larry were married
in 1973. So began a 51-year marriage highlighted by her commitment to her Lord,
her church and to Larry. She loved to pray for others and to read her Bible. Her
favorite Bible verse was Jeremiah 29:11. Cross-stitch was a hobby that she
loved to do and to give completed projects to other people. Miriam enjoyed
traveling and was blessed to visit all 50 states and 15 countries.
Miriam had been diagnosed with Bi-polar disorder in 1978.
She had asked that her brain be donated to the Harvard Brain Tissue Resource
Center in the hope that her contribution may finally lead to a cure or more
treatment options for mental illness. She was always giving, thinking of
others. Just as Paul did, Miriam fought
the good fight, she finished the course, she kept the faith.
Funeral services will be held on Saturday October 12th
at 11:00 AM at the Chapel of Meadows Funeral Home with the Rev. Chris Mitchell
and the Rev. Jonathan Banks officiating.
Interment will follow at Masters Cemetery in Dekalb County. Meadows Funeral Home, Inc. is in charge of
arrangements.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to her church,
Berean Baptist Church, Social Circle, Ga. or to The Gideons International, an organization
distributing Bibles around the world.
