Obituary
JOYCE G. WHITE, 82, of Wenona, went home to be with Jesus Monday, March 2, 2009 at Peninsula Regional Medical Center in Salisbury.
Born in Moorehead City, North Carolina on January 2, 1927, she was a daughter of the late William and Louise Guthrie Gaskins.
She was a homemaker and worked in the family seafood business, White's Seafood.
A faithful, and devoted member of St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Wenona, she gave her life to the Lord in the 1940's. She devoted her life to God, her family and her church. In her own words, Joyce wanted others to remember her as "A Christian. Nothing else really matters. A Christian wife, a Christian mother, a Christian friend, a Christian grandmother. I want them to know how much I loved the church." Joyce also wrote many poems and stories about her family and her church family, and enjoyed going out to dinner with her husband every week.
She is survived by her husband of 67 years, Perry F. White, Jr., whom she married October 19, 1942; four children, Brenda Jones and husband Louis of Eden, and Perry David White and wife Marilyn, James White and wife Debbie, and Joseph White, all of Wenona; 10 grandchildren, Tammy Couillard, Shannon Palmer and husband John, William White and wife Rachel, Hunter White, Louis Jones, Jr., David White, Christina Gunter and husband Robert, Andy White, Wendy White and Sara Towles and husband LJ; nine great-grandchildren, Emily Hattaway, James Couillard, Jack Couillard, Grace White, Olivia Palmer, Madison Palmer, Hannah White, Robbie Gunter, Jr., and Lindsey Gunter; three sisters, Billie Louise Wade, Marion Davis and Judy Crisp; one brother, Jack Booth; and numerous nieces and nephews.
