It is with great sadness that the family of Lillian Josephine White, much-loved wife, mother, grandmother and aunt, announces her passing on Thursday, January 31, 2019, at the age of 85 in Spokane Valley, Washington after a long, hard-fought, battle with cancer.
Lillian was born on January 7th, 1934, in Meyers Falls, Washington, to Roman and Anna Ziuchkovski. After graduating high school, she married her lifelong love, Boyce White on July 5th, 1953. Lillian was the wife of a United States Air Force service member and a mother to six children. She enjoyed bowling, cake decorating, gardening, and involvement in her church.
She is survived by her loving children Lili Wixted (husband Pete), Cindy Travis (husband Tim), Doug White, Theresa Du Chemin (husband Bill), Wayne White, and Michele Chapman (husband Shelton), nine grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
She was preceded in death by her parents, siblings John, Michael, Stanley, Jim, and Rose Keller, her husband, and grandson Cody.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to Hospice of Spokane, (121 South Arthur Street, Spokane, Washington 99202) or St John Vianney Church (503 North Walnut Road, Spokane Valley, Washington 99206).
