Marie White

Marie Mitchell White

Graveside Services for Marie Mitchell White will be held Friday at 12 Noon at Magnolia Cemetery with Rev. Luther Ott officiating. James F. Webb Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements.

Mrs. White, 88, of Meridian, died Thursday, March 3, 2011 at home under the care of Homecare Hospice. Marie was born June 7, 1922 in Meridian, and graduated from public schools there. She married her husband Whittey while in the Air Force, and after retirement they moved back to Meridian where she worked with her two brothers Man and Bilbo and sister in law, Julia Clair Mitchell in the retail business on 49th Avenue. She was a very loving and caring wife and mother, and a diligent and devoted worker who loved people especially those who lived nearby and those who traded with them. Her favorite pass times were fishing, playing cards, and the casinos where she enjoyed the slots. She was a very happy, loving and optimistic person who had a perpetual smile on her face. She will surely be missed by many.

The family wants to give special thanks to Felicia and Gwen Marshall, and Evelyn McClelland for their loving care and tireless efforts given to Marie and her family.

She is survived by her son, John White and his wife Nikki and daughter Nicole of Deerfield Beach, Florida sisters, Annie Mitchell Abraham of Meridian, and Louise Mitchell Siede of West Palm Beach, Florida sister in law, Julia Clair Mitchell of Meridian nieces and nephews include, E.J.
