"7 have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, 1 have kept the faith, Henceforth, there is 
laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that 
day ..." 7/ Timothy 4:7, 8A 
^Juanita (J). ^Wftite was bom on April 9, 1940, in Queens, New York, to the 
late Mary Dent and William Jones. She entered into eternal rest, Thursday, June 12,1997, 
at Boswell Memorial Hospital in Greensboro, Georgia. 
On December 20, 1956, she was united in Holy Matrimony to James White. To this union 
six children were bom. 
At an early age, she was converted and baptized at Elim Baptist Church under the 
leadership of the late Rev. R. L. Boyd. She continued her spiritual growth by chairing 
numerous church committees and remained active in the Missionary Society, the R. L. 
Boyd Chorus and the Elim Mass Choir. 
Juanita obtained her education at the Immaculate Conception School and Lucy C. Laney 
High School. She was active in the Augusta-North Augusta Travel Club and the C.S.R.A. 
Albany State University Alumni Association. 
She always had great pride in her work and often referred to the Richmond County 
Board of Health as her "Home away from Home." There she touched the lives of all with 
whom she came in contact. 
To her family she was a devoted wife, mother, and grandmother. As a friend she was 
unsurpassed. 
Her sweet memory will forever linger in the hearts and minds of her survivors: a 
devoted husband, James White; two sons, James M. (Phyllis) White, Albany, GA; and 
Gerald R. (D1 Andrea) White, Atlanta, GA; three daughters, Ethel M. Bennett, Decatur, 
GA; Donna M. (Sylvester) Anderson, Augusta, GA; and Tammy D. (Vernon) Kelly,

FL; two sisters-in-law, three brothers-in-law; five grandchildren, Kristi Anderson, Robert 
Marshall, Tkeya Anderson, Justin Kelly and Ashley Kelly; a dear cousin, Mrs. Georgia R. 
Johnson; dear friends, Mrs. Florence Bentley and Mrs. Eva Graham; and a host of nieces, 
nephews, other relatives and sorrowing friends.

A precious one from us has gone, A voice we love is still. 
A place is vacant in our home, which never can be filled. 
She will not be forgotten, though on earth site is no more, 
But in the memory she is with us, as she always was before.

You've always had a special way 
of doing things that pleased 
Little things that cheer the heart 
and leave fond memories 
You've always helped to brighten our lives 
and what's more you still do 
No wonder you will be close in our thoughts 
Each time we think of you.

It Takes The Bitter and The Sweet To Make A Life Ftdl and Complete 
Life is a mixture of sunshine and rain, 
Laughter and teardrops, pleasure and pain - 
Low tides and high tides, mountains and plains 
Triumphs, defeats, and losses and gains - 
But always, in all ways, God's guiding and leading 
And He alone knows the things we're most needing - 
And when He sends sorrow or some dreaded affliction 
Be assured that it comes with God's kind benediction - 
And if we accept it as a gift of His love 
We'll be showered with blessings from our Father above. 
-Helen Steiner Rice
