Patricia A. White

Patricia A. White, age 60, passed away on August 23, 2020, after a long and difficult journey with cancer.

Patricia Ann Carter was born to Fred and Trudy on December 24, 1959, (the perfect Christmas present). She graduated from BCP High in 1978, and married her sweetheart, Lynn, the following year. Patricia, better known as Pat, was a stay-at-home mom to two beautiful daughters, Holly and Angela, for many years. Pat took care of Lynn during his journey with cancer, all while making sure their girls went about their normal routines. She was involved in the girls’ school and activities, including volunteering at St. Anne.

Once the girls were older, Pat went back to school at Lamar University to pursue a degree in education. She then taught school in Jasper and Orange before finding her teaching home at St. Anne Catholic School where she taught for 11 years. She loved teaching and had such a passion for science and religion. A devout Catholic, Pat was enthusiastically involved in her church over the years. Early on, she served many years as a Sunday school teacher, and later as Director of Religious Education at Our Lady of LaSalette in Kirbyville. Once they moved to Beaumont around 2005, Pat served as a Eucharistic Minister at St. Anne.

Pat is survived by her loving husband of 41 years, Jesse Lynn White, Jr.; her daughters, Holly Aber and husband, Joel, of Chesapeake Virginia; and Angela White of Northern Virginia, and her greatest blessings, her grandchildren: Logan, Kaleb, and Gracelyn Aber (she loved spoiling her grandsons, and Gracelyn was her little ray of sunshine). She is also survived by her parents, Fred Carter and Trudy Hynes of Beaumont; sister, Pam Holmes and husband, Joe, of Katy; brother, Jeff Carter and wife, Kandie, of Lumberton; and mother-in-law, Sandra White of Lumberton; sisters-in-law, Mary Beth Strickland and husband, Larry and Sharon Huff and husband, George. Pat is also survived by many nieces, nephews, and several great-nieces/ nephews.

Lynn, Holly, and Angela would like to thank everyone who has supported their family on this difficult journey with transportation, meals, and so much more: their loving family, their St. Anne church family, the many friends and neighbors that visited and offered support and love, the staff at MD Anderson, and the amazing staff at Harbor Hospice, especially Lori and Courtney.
