Annadale R. White, 98

Annadale Rhoads White, affectionately known as “Andy,” went to be with the Lord on Nov. 13, 2024, at the age of 98. She passed peacefully in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, with her daughter and granddaughter at her side. 

Born on March 18, 1926, in Anaheim, Calif., she was the middle of five children to Lester and Ida Rhoads.

In her adult life, Annadale attended Redlands University for a time, where she met her husband, Milton Robert “Bob” White. She completed her bachelor's and obtained her teaching credential at California State University, Fullerton. 

While mothering her two children, Marilyn and Bruce, Andy completed her master's and Ph.D. at the University of Northern Colorado. She taught in the education department of Biola University and oversaw its student teaching program. She and Bob retired to San Luis Obispo, Calif., where she became an active member at Grace Church and later in P.E.O. (Philanthropic Educational Organization).

Andy spent the last several years living in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Her death was peaceful and painless after a long life of faith and hope in Jesus and the eternal life he offered her. 

Andy is preceded in death by her husband, Bob White, and son Bruce White. She is survived by her sister, Frances Zincke; her daughter, Marilyn (Largent) Dickey; her six grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
