IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Phyllis Gale
White
Feb 26, 1954 — Nov 19, 2012
Obituary
Phyllis Gale White, daughter of the late Fern Amsden-Hedrick and Winfred Hedrick, was born in Ironton, Missouri on February 26th, 1954. At the age of 58, she departed this life at The Villa's in DeSoto, Missouri on November 19th, 2012.
Phyllis was baptized alongside her mother, Fern, at Park Baptist Church, located in Ferguson, Missouri, on November 13th, 1966. On July 14th, 1984, in St. Louis, Missouri, she was united in marriage to Steven R. White.
She is survived by her husband, Steven of Blackwell, Missouri; her daughter, Lisa Ann (Hedrick) and husband, John Gibson of Ferguson, Missouri; two granddaughters, Erin Nicole and Kiera Nicole of Ferguson, Missouri; three sisters, Patricia Thurber and husband, Jerry, of Florissant, Missouri, Marsha Henderson and husband, Stephen, of Hazelwood, Missouri, and Deborah Pogue and husband, Steve of Ellington, Missouri. Phyllis will be deeply missed by her family, as well as the many friends who mourn her passing.
Phyllis lived life to the fullest. To know her was to love her. She was a very social person who loved to be around others just as much as they loved to be around her. She enjoyed many different activities, including but not limited to playing cards and bingo with friends, dancing, crocheting, collecting roosters, gardening, and cooking - especially Nana's famous chocolate chip cookies that she would make any time she was asked, even if that was at two in the morning…Yes, she actually did that. She loved watching Sunday football with her husband, and they shared a passion for the St. Louis Cardinals. Nothing delighted Phyllis more than the holiday season, when her home was filled with the sound of family and friends laughing and the smell of a grand feast.
To Phyllis, nothing mattered more than her loved ones. She devoted all of her time to them, putting their needs and wants before her own. She was a kind and caring person, always willing to help when asked or to just listen. You could always count on Nana.
