 Obituary H E White son of Milton & Sue

H.E. White, 93, of Levelland, passed from this life at a Lubbock care facility on Friday evening, April 17, 2009. Born in Maud, Texas on November 9, 1915, he was the son of Milton and Susan (Fowler) White.

After completing his education, Mr. White served in the US Army during WWII. On September 17, 1932, he married the love of his life, Flossie Mae Caswell, in Walter, Okla. They moved to Levelland in 1945, where he farmed until his retirement.

In 1978, they moved to Sundown, where they resided until 2006. During his retirement, he and Flossie enjoyed many years of traveling in their RV. He was a member of the 5th Street Baptist Church in Levelland, where he served as a deacon for many years.

Mr. White was predeceased by his parents; his beloved wife, Flossie on August 7, 2006; and a daughter, Nelda McKee on May 3, 2001.

Those left to honor and cherish his memory include his son, Larry White and wife Patty of Orlando, Fla.; son-in-law, W.C. McKee of Sundown; four grandchildren, Mike McKee of Sundown, Jerry McKee of Sundown, Russell White of Crosby, and Toni McCumber of Orlando, Fla.; five great-grandchildren, three great-great grandchildren, and a host of many loving friends, neighbors, and his church family.

Family letter
From Marlene Walker

Milton Elonzo White & Elma Naomi Fowler Rachel 

Date : Sun, 26 Aug 2001

Hi Mike, Milton, as you know was married to Elma
Naomi (Omie) Fowler Rachel. They were married for about
3 years or less before he died. Both, Omer Rachel and
Susan Fowler White, died about 1948 and very shortly
after that Milton and Aunt Omie married. They lived
on one street over from where I lived and my mom still
lives, until Milton died in 1951. I thought he died
in Maud, but they could have moved to Witchita Falls
before he died, I can't remember. I know he is buried
there beside his first wife, Susan. Aunt Omie died in
a Texarkana hospital in 1970 and is buried next to
Uncle Omer Rachel in Center Ridge in Maud.

Omie and Milton were up in age when they married and
did not have children. All the children listed under
Omie are Rachels. I hope they were not listed as
Milton and Omie's children. The reason I know this
much, is because my mother was a Rachel and Uncle Omer
was her father's brother.
