Obituary For Mrs. Fontella White - Haynes
A Celebration of a Life Well Lived and a Woman Well Loved
“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me crown of righteousness, which the Lord the righteousness judge, shall give me at that day; and not to me, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” II Timothy 4: 7 – 8
Fontella White – Haynes was born in Fairfax, South Carolina, to Maebell White and the late Bobby White.
She sought God’s direction at an early age and joined St. Luke Missionary Baptist Church.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, and I hope you find comfort in the love and support of those around you.
I havent seen Fontella in over a year, and Jan 21 I while watching local news on tv for the snow, and omgosh i saw beautiful Fontella, right there on TV! Just as always, she was smiling, and just being her positive joyful sel. I felt the happiness she always shared and I immediately dialed her number, but didnt get through. I found another number and left message. I was sending that link from the news to everyone I had an email address for. She used to live just a mile down the road from me,, but I couldnt find her. Fontella always smiling, always positive, willing to lend a helping hand. Her presence brightened the days of all those around her. Even in some hectic times working with Fontella in the CM 1&2, at Scotsman, she always remained calm, positive, and willing to help. Everyone enjoyed working with her. Her willingness to comfort the sad, sick, and bereaved, and she did it with such love, truly demonstrated her compassionate character. Years later we still share a hug, and she always asked about my family. She would tell me tell them hello for her and that she sends her best. I am so thankful our paths crossed. In remembering her, I am reminded of the importance of kindness and compassion in my own live. Her legacy serves as an inspiration to continue her work of sharing joy to all. Love you, sweet Fontella, my family does too. I continue to cherish your sincere goodness. GLENDA K. JARVIS

So very sad to hear of Fontella's passing. I worked with her at Scotsman, and she was always very friendly. My prayers to all of the family.
You were genuinely kind, from the day that I met you, 36 years ago... You never changed. We just thought that our Mothers were good friends, until we realized, we were actually family. Seeing you, was always a pleasant experience, Fountella. You were always smiling and upbeat. Your positivity was contagious... I've never seen you frown, even throughout your toughest battle. I'm still trying to process this... 💔 It's always, the good ones. You will be sorely missed. Rest in sweet peace, Cousin. 🕊️ My prayers continue, for comforting and strength, of my bereaved family. 🙏🏾🙏🏾💞🙏🏾🙏🏾
