Ruby Pauline Yancey White

Ruby Pauline Yancey White was joyfully reunited in heaven with her beloved husband, Ralph Edmondson White, on the morning of Friday, November 7, 2025. She was 98 years old.

Born on August 24, 1927, in Montrose, GA, Pauline was the daughter of the late Paul Davis and Ruby Lee Cook Yancey. She graduated from Dudley High School in Dudley and went on to attend Southern Business University in Atlanta.

Pauline proudly served her country through her career in Civil Service at Robins Air Force Base, from which she retired after many dedicated years. A devoted member of First Baptist Church of Haynesville, she found great joy in worship and fellowship with her church family and was an active participant in the JOY (Just Older Youth) Sunday School Class. Pauline more recently attended Cornerstone Church in Cochran.

Beyond her professional and church life, Pauline loved playing Scrabble, going to Panama City Beach, watching game shows and cooking shows, sitting on her front porch, but most importantly she adored spending time with her children and grandchildren.

In addition to her husband and parents, Pauline was preceded in death by her brothers, Breeman Yancey and Max Yancey.

Pauline’s memory will forever be treasured by her loving children, Randall Ralph White (Lynne) of Perry and Janet Alisia Dowd (Tony Leroy) of Centerville; grandchildren, Jason White (Lisa) of Prattville, AL, Travis White (Candace) of Lizella, Stephen White of Perry, Trevor Dowd of Warner Robins, Kelly Migliore (Chris) of Warner Robins, Kyle Tucker (Stephani) of Centerville, and Jessica Bedsole (Cameron) of Cochran; great-grandchildren, Travis “T.J.” White, Jr., Joshua White, Micah White, Sophia Migliore, Olivia Migliore, Izabella Migliore, Gabriella Migliore, Gianna Migliore, Chandler Simmons, Kent Tucker, and Charlie Bedsole; siblings, David Yancey (Ruth) of Macon, and Nellie Hamm of Warner Robins; and a host of adoring nieces, nephews, and extended family.
