Mrs. White was born Jan. 15, 1939, at Cherryvale, Kan., to Everett and Mary Knight Jacobs. She was raised at Nampa, Idaho, and Ontario, receiving her education in those areas. She married Floyd White on March 8, 1956, at Winnemucca, Nevada.
She had many hobbies, including crocheting and collecting dolls. Being the grandma that she was, the newest addition to the family was always given a beautiful crocheted blanket made with love. She was a generous person who gave and never expected anything in return. Her greatest love was her family. “She has touched our lives and will remain forever in our hearts,” family members said.
Survivors include her mother, Mary Jacobs of Las Vegas, Nev.; her husband, Floyd White of Ontario; her children, Floyd White Jr. of Ontario, Larry White of Boise, Margaret Bowlsby of Ontario, and Loretta Stitch and her husband, Dave, of Baker City; brother, Joe Jacobs of Las Vegas, Nev.; sisters, Lois Myers of Baker City and Linda Jacobs of Simi Valley, Calif.; grandchildren, Holly Bowlsby, Leanne White, Chenelle White, Jason White, Melody King, Steven Wardrip, Joseph Magnifico, Bobby White, Danny White, Donna Marie White, and Floyd R. White III; four great-grandchildren; and several nieces and nephews.
