Margaret Ellen White
Sterling resident Margaret Ellen White died Wednesday, Jan. 8,
2003, at Providence Alaska Medical Center of liver disease. She was 67.
A visitation will be held Sunday at Mrs.
White's kitchen (the coffee is on) from 2 to 5 p.m.
Mrs. White was born May 26, 1935, in Hannibal,
Mo. She graduated from Hannibal High School in 1953. In August 1973, she came to
Sterling, where she was a part of the Soldotna Bible Chapel and the Christian
Women's group. She enjoyed sewing and gardening.
"Mom accepted Jesus Christ as her personal
savior at the age of 10 during Bible school. She knew and loved the Lord.
Married 48 years, she took great joy in her family and friends. Wherever we
lived -- Florida, Illinois, Colorado, North Carolina, Missouri, North Dakota and
Sterling -- Mom established our home, and her kitchen was open. Friends and
family could discuss their private concerns and joys with Mom, and they valued
her advice," her family said.
She was preceded in death by her parents,
Gladys and Charles Williams; brothers, Marvin and Marshall; and sister, Marcella
Adams.
Mrs. White is survived by her husband, David
Lee White of Sterling; son, Mark Edward White of Sterling; daughters, Diana Lee
White and Donna Ellen White, both of Sterling; daughter and son-in-law, Marsha
Lou and Gary Lindman of Soldotna; daughter and son-in-law, Melinda Rae and Gene
Birky and their children, Matthew and Rachel, all of Anchorage; daughter and
son-in-law, Maria Kay and Paul Horwath and their children, Leah, Nathan, and
Carl John, all of Sterling; and brother and sister-in-law, Mike and Sharon
Williams.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be
made to The Gideons International, care of Kenai Peninsula Gideons, P.O. Box
2306 Soldotna, Alaska 99669.
Arrangements were made by Kehl's Forest Lawn
