Obituary of Marie White
Frances Marie White
October 23, 1931 - December 3, 2021
Marie would like to let you know that her work here is done. She received a call, sort of an offer she couldn't refuse. Her assignment comes with a huge bonus, a reunion with her sweet husband George, among family and friends she has not seen in a long time. Her new mission takes her to a wonderful place where she will be socializing, playing cards, and dancing to her heart's content. Music, laughter and love are guaranteed. Food is delicious and rest assured she will be enjoying a good jiggs dinner, Mary Brown's chicken & taters, and raisin buns with her tea.
Marie enjoyed the simple pleasures in life and found joy and happiness in her 90 years here. Drives in the woods did her heart good. Going to softball games in the camper-van were a summer must for her. A good game of crib or cards with friends was an evening well spent. There was nothing better than a huge pot of soup cooked on the propane stove.
Frances Marie was born on October 23, 1931, to Israel Charles and Margaret Catherine Benoit, and was raised in South Brook, Newfoundland.
Marie had a collaborative and caring relationship with the love of her life George Samuel White whom she married on November 24, 1952. It was based on mutual support and a deep love for each other. They enjoyed life to the fullest.
