Obituary For Deloris Odell White

Deloris Odell White was born in Oak City, Goose Neck Township, North Carolina, on May 19, 1943, to the late Clayton & Rebecca Powell Lynch. She was born to a family of (8) brothers, David, James, Clayton Jr., Lewis Curtis, Ronald, Allison, Michael and Melvin; (7) Sisters, Oteal, Mary, Barbara, Louise, Diane, Rosie, and Sheila.

Deloris moved to New York, where she met Oscar White, and they were joined in Holy Matrimony on June 26, 1965. This beautiful union was shared with one son, Duane White.

Deloris dedicated her life to Jehovah and was baptized on January 4, 1975, and faithfully remained one of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

Deloris peacefully went to rest on January 19, 2026, at home, after a lengthy battle with Dementia. But she drew comfort from the Bible’s assurances that:

God will resurrect our dead loved ones. – Acts 24:15

God longs to bring them back to life. – Job 14:13-15

She leaves to cherish fond memories; (1) Son, Duane (Nicole); (3) Grandchildren: Devin (Reagan), Amber (Justin), and Lauren (Saban); (1) Great grandchild: Cade Alexander; (4) Brothers: James (Diane), Allison, Michael, and Melvin; (5) Sisters; Mary (Joseph); Barbara (Robert), Louise, Rosie, and Sheila; a host of cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Thank you for all the prayers, support, and words of comfort.

Please continue to keep her beloved family in your prayers as they cope with her passing.

A Memorial Service will be announced at a later date.

Please remember to keep the White Family lifted in prayer.
