Ida ‘Grace’ White (nee Ford) passed away at the G.B. Cross Memorial Hospital on April 13, 2025, after a short illness, with family at her side.
She is the last of nine children of Samuel and Hilda (Park) Ford to leave us. Including their parents, she was predeceased by her brothers Hector, Eric (Millicent), Gus (Shirley), Ron, Roy (Peggy), Reg, Ralph, and recently her sister, Viola (Tom Reid).
Grace moved from Corner Brook to Port Blandford as a young woman to help take care of her ailing Grandfather. There, she met her dear husband, Laban White. They married in 1946 and had one son, Gerald. Suddenly, she lost Laban in 1976 and her beloved son in 1991. She lived in her own home in Port Blandford until she checked herself in to the Clarenville Retirement Centre where she had resided since July of 2018.
She will be dearly missed by her Grandson, Alvin, his wife, Cindy, who was also a very special Granddaughter-in-law, and their children Jordon (Kelsey Snelgrove) and Samantha (Mackenzie Skiffington), her Granddaughter Alison Colwell (Dwayne) of Weldon, NB, Daughter-in-law, Mary White, Brandon Greening, who was like another Great-Grandson to her, and his wife Brittany and son Walker, and special girls Melanie (Greening) Krzyzaniak and Sheena (Greening) Visser and their families. She will also be missed by many cousins, nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her sisters-in-law Margaret, Sarah, Lorna and Joan.
