Beloved wife and mother, Sara Angelene White, earned her heavenly wings February 6, 2020. Born April 11, 1931 in Linden, Texas to Guy and Mary Washington, Sara was one of 8 children. She was 22 when she was reacquainted with an old school friend, Benjamin White, Jr from Yazoo City, Mississippi and married 6 weeks later. They made their home in Texas where they raised 5 children. Sara worked retail for many years, retiring from Sears in 1985. She enjoyed her family, friends, playing cards, cooking and most importantly taking care of others. She never met a stranger and was generous to many people over the years. Working and raising a large family didn't leave time for much else, but in retirement, she and Ben traveled extensively representing the VFW all over the United States. She is survived by her children; Linda Fields (Leighton), Ben White (Debbie), Charles White, Mary Henson (Kenneth) and Cheryl White Waguespack (John), brothers; Don Washington, Jerry Washington and George Washington. Sara was very proud of her family and especially loved being Granny to her 5 grandchildren, 7 great grandchildren and 1 great great grandson. Preceded by her husband of 60 years, Ben White, Jr; parents; brothers; Guy, Travis, Meril, sister; Martha, granddaughter; Nikki Dewitt and grandson; Benjamin Joseph White Waguespack.

Met Sara when we both worked at Sears when the mall opened in 1976. She was a wonderful mentor and treasured coworker and friend. Many wonderful memories. My sincere condolences to her family whom she loved dearly and was so proud of.
