She was born in Everett, Washington on August 7, 1934 to Stanley and Mabel Davis. She has one older brother, Stanley Davis, and one younger sister, Shirley Pinkerton.

She met the love of her life, Jim White, in 1958 at the Navigator’s headquarters, Glen Eyrie. They were married on April 2, 1961 and celebrated their 60th anniversary this past year.

They often spent their mornings reading and meditating on God’s word, praying for family and friends, and listening to praise music. They worked together throughout the years in student ministry and marriage counseling, and finished the last thirty years working with Chinese students helping them with their English, offering friendship, and introducing them to Jesus.

Many people came to faith in Christ through their obedience to love and care for people, and their boldness to share the gospel in due time.
