Frederick Stanley Joseph White
January 18, 1938 – November 30, 2022
With sad hearts the White family announces the passing of their father, Fred White of Norman’s Cove.
Dad passed peacefully away at the Carbonear General Hospital on Wednesday morning, November 30th at the age of 84 years. He leaves behind his children: Evelyn, Sandy, Russell (Karen), Jenine (Rick), and Jennifer (Aaron), and six Grandchildren: Lisa, Kayleigh, Keegan, Gracie, Nora, and Raela. Also left to mourn is sister-in-law Jean, his nieces and nephews, and a large number of extended family and friends who he treasured.
Dad is now at peace and reunited with his wife, our loving mother, Phyllis. He is also predeceased by his parents Fred and Rhoda Smith, and Fred and Gertrude White, his sisters Leah and Olive, brother John, brothers-in-law Ambrose and Ray, nephew Harvey, as well as parents-in-law Tom and Jessie Reid.
Dad cherished his family, embracing every moment with us. He especially loved his role as Poppy. Dad worked hard his whole life to provide for us and spoke often of the people he met in Millertown, Long Harbour, and Bull Arm. He was an active member of our community, and our Church. His love for life, strong faith, and passion to help others has made him a friend to many and loved by all.
A sincere thank you to the staff of both Placentia Health Center and Carbonear General Hospital for caring for dad during his short stay. Special thank you to Rev. Linda, for being here. We’d also like to thank everyone for reaching out to us, extending their thoughts and prayers during this difficult time, especially dads’ neighbors and close friends, who are family to us.
