Shirley White Obituary
Shirley K. White, a cherished soul from Louisville, Kentucky, gracefully departed this world on Sunday, March 23, 2025, at the age of 77. Born on January 19, 1948, in Franklin, Kentucky, she was the beloved daughter of the late Louis and Kathryn (Hamilton) Brady. Shirley's gentle spirit now rejoins her cherished daughter, Robin White, in eternal peace.
Shirley leaves behind a loving legacy through her devoted husband of 59 years, Robert White, as well as her daughters, Jennifer White and Tina White. The warmth of her love will forever embrace her grandchildren, Eric Keith and Anna Marie White, who were the apple of her eye.
A true beacon of light, Shirley possessed a unique charm that drew everyone to her. With laughter as her constant companion, she transformed the lives of those around her, making even the simplest moments radiant. Her passion for decorating and design shone brightly during her time at Nanz & Kraft, where she shared her extraordinary talents and creativity with others.
Shirley was an outgoing spirit who thrived in the company of friends and family, never meeting a stranger along her journey. Her heart of gold was evident in everything she did, always prioritizing the needs of others above her own. She found joy in life's simple pleasures – from shopping excursions to serene camping trips and the companionship of beloved animals.
Family and friends are invited to honor Shirley's memory during visitation on Sunday, April 6th, from 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm at Newcomer Cremations, Funerals & Receptions - Southwest Louisville Chapel (10304 Dixie Hwy). A heartfelt service will follow at 6:00 pm.
