Elva Stout White was born August 1, 1917 in La Verkin, Utah.She finally joined her husband, Ivan, on October 31, 2009 in Farmington, Utah-although her home was in Jerome, Idaho.
She was 92 years old.
We were very close to Great Grandma White. The 2 years we lived in Nampa, we tried to visit her often. Dave would stop by with his news crew and cameras at least once a month to do some quick editing before heading back to the station. Grandma was always so excited to see him and would welcome him in and usually try to feed him and his crew something. She loved and treated Dave like he was an actual great grandson and he loved and treated her like she was his actual great grandmother.
Easter will forever remind me of my Great Grandma/pa White and Jerome. We spent a lot of Easters at their house and those are memories I will always cherish. It's never the same doing Easter anywhere else. It makes my heart hurt a little that my boys will never know Easter that way.
Great Grandpa White passed away 7 years ago. Grandma's been lonely without him and has been wanting to go be with him for some time now. She kept her sharp sense of humor and memory until the very end. We went to tell her goodbye in August, and even then she was saying how much she missed sex. Lol, I'm glad they're reunited, but I really don't want to hear about it :)
I'm so grateful that my boys got to meet, and be apart of, their Great-Great Grandma's life. I'm even more grateful that she was able to be a part of mine for so long and that we had such a close relationship. I'm going to miss her oh so much, but I know she's with Grandpa and where she wants to be.
Love you Grandma!
