Loretta White, 87, of El Paso, on July 29th unexpectedly experienced a spontaneous and painless passage from this mortal life to eternal life while doing what she truly enjoyed the most, going out to dinner with family.
She was born in Arkadelphia, Arkansas on March 31, 1935 and lived in Alamogordo and then Truth or Consequences, graduating from Hot Springs High School. She was married to Bill J. White on September 2, 1954, and she moved to El Paso as fast as Bill could drive his new Chevy. Loretta aspired to and fulfilled the highest calling in all humanity in dedicating her precious life to become the epitome of a loving mother, wife, daughter, grandmother, aunt, and trusted and loyal friend, and consummate homemaker. She mastered the sacred art of creating a most beautiful family life and home like no other. Her loving service and accomplishments were truly beyond count and of profound magnitude to others , greatly impacting and enhancing a legacy of love and generosity. She was sweet, gentle, pleasant, and beautiful in every way. She loved and greatly enjoyed her St. Paul's Methodist Church congregation where she was an active member, former church secretary and served in various leadership roles for nearly 57 years. She will now shed her one fault, that being her gullibility to scam phone calls. Loretta was preceded in passing by her mother Addie Mae (Young) Teague and father Lewdy Teague, sister Evelyn, sister Carolyn, as well as her beloved ragamuffin terrier, "Rags". She is survived by her husband Bill, sons Wesley (wife Gay) and Ronald (wife Melissa), granddaughter Taryn Jones (husband Danny) of Golden Colorado, and grandsons Randall White of El Paso and Brandon White (wife Sarah) of London, England, sisters Patricia Maxwell of Georgia and Dana Mattison ( husband Myron) of Austin ,Texas

A joyful celebration of Loretta's life will be celebrated on Friday August 12, at 11 am at St. Paul's Methodist Church, 7000 Edgemere , 79925, with a luncheon reception to follow at 12:00 noon in the church's adjoining Hall.
