In New Hartford she was a deacon at New Hartford Presbyterian church and taught Sunday school. In Florida she served as president of her PEO chapter. Also as a Florida resident for over 20 years with annual passes to Disney World and Sea World, visits from the grandchildren were not uncommon. She was an avid supporter of the Orlando Magic.

In addition to her husband of 64 years she is survived by a son Terry White (Dulcie) of Rome and a daughter Nancy Wind (Robert) of Syracuse and 5 grandchildren, Megan, Andrew and Daniel White, and Benjamin and Rebecca Wind.
