Virginia was born in Rochester, NY to Mary Lee and William "Buddy" White on October 28, 1948. Virginia lived a full life and her pride and joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was active in her church until her health prevented her from being as active. She was a praying woman and if she told you she was praying for you, you could take that to the bank. She loved everyone she came into contact with and they knew they were loved.
Virginia was preceded in death by her mother, Mary Lee Whtie; father, William "Buddy" White; beloved sister, Ruby Culver; beloved brother, Virgil White; precious great-grandson, Noah Kitchens.
She is survived by her sons, James (Katie) Kitchens, John (Michelle) Kitchens, Arthur (Donna) Kitchens, Michael (Heather) Kitchens and Dewayne Hollinghead; beloved sisters, Doreen Wade, Annie White; beloved brother, Johnny White; 11 grandchildren; 19 great-grandchildren; host of nieces and nephews.
Visitation will be Thursday, October 22, 2020, 6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. at First United Pentecostal Church of Richton.
The family of Virginia wishes to extend our sincere thanks to Dale Grantham and the nurses at Perry County Hospital, Forrest General Hospital and the wonderful ICU nurses, First Pentecostal Church of Richton and Eastside Baptist Church.
