Elizabeth Wynell White
4/30/1928 - 5/22/2022
Elizabeth Wynell White was born April 30, 1928 to Howard Francis Johnson and Ella Elizabeth Mann Johnson.
On January 28, 1946 Wynell married Carrol Dean (C.D.) White, a marriage of 57 years til his passing in 2003.
Making their home in Velasco, Bro. Gordon Johnson of Velasco Baptist Church led them to the Lord, baptizing them simultaneously. Wynell remarked we were much thinner then!
In November Deana, the first of 3 girls arrived. Linda came in 1950 and Carla followed in 1952. By this time they were living in Lake Jackson and members of FBCLJ.
In 1960 the family moved to Jones Creek this time to stay. Moving in Friday and in church Sunday morning, the family soon became members of Jones Creek Baptist Church.
Wynell and C.D. shared a love for children which fueled their desire to teach little ones. Wynell and C.D. worked in the Primary Department 35 years sharing the love of Jesus. Sunday mornings often began by picking up neighborhood kids to take to church. Sunday afternoons were spent planning and preparing next Sunday's lesson.
Wynell was an excellent seamstress and cook. In her earlier years she was an avid gardener and in later years she took up needlepoint, creating beautiful works of art for her growing family.
Wynell loved to play board games, cards and dominoes with family and friends and always with her grandkids and greats.
Wynell had many gifts but perhaps her greatest gift was making others feel welcome, loved and happy.
Wynell had many close friends who predeceased her, tho still leaving behind her dearest family friend of 70 years, Faye Bell, to carry on their stories of fun and crazy times. The Lord blesses us with family and friends and Wynell was richly blessed with both.
We wish to express our sincere thanks and gratitude to A*Med Hospice staff and Carriage Inn workers of the Memory wing. Too many to name and fearing someone would be overlooked our deepest thanks for your loving care given to our mother.
