Christina “Tina” White Dempsey, née Christina Marie White, passed away peacefully at the age of 53 at Community Hospice in Jacksonville, Fla. on May 23, 2023, after a short but brave battle against a cancer reemergence.
Tina was born in Bangkok, Thailand on October 3, 1969, to Samuel and Soledad White. As the daughter of a service member, Tina grew up across the globe, from Iceland and Hawaii to Virginia and South Carolina. Tina graduated from the University of Georgia in 1991 after studying risk management and actuarial science. She spent her decades-long insurance career entirely in the state of Florida, working and living as a proud Georgia Bulldog in Gainesville, Tallahassee and Jacksonville.
Tina is survived by her husband of 23 years, Sean; their 17-year-old son, Jack; Tina’s parents, Samuel and Soledad White of Warner Robins, Ga.; and her two sisters, Sandy Johnson of Cohutta, Ga., and Jeanne Travis of Buford, Ga., as well as countless family and friends touched by her intelligence, grace and humor.
A visitation will be held on Friday, June 9, 2023 at 4:00 pm at Hardage-Giddens St. Johns, 1285 St. Johns Parkway, St. Johns, FL 32259, followed by a Catholic Funeral Service at 5:00 PM. Family and friends are invited to a reception afterwards at Hardage-Giddens St. Johns.
