Mary Minton White, 96, passed away Friday, Feb. 20, 2009.
Funeral: Mass of Christian Burial, 10 a.m. Thursday at Holy Family Catholic Church, the Rev. Joe Pemberton, celebrant. Interment: Mount Olivet Cemetery. Visitation: 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Thompson's Harveson and Cole Funeral Home.
A lifetime resident of Fort Worth, Mary was born Oct. 30, 1912, the third child of the late Herbert and Lula Minton who were pioneer cattle raisers in the Fort Worth Stockyards. Following her graduation from North Side High School, Mary attended Texas Christian University, majoring in business. She worked in her father's business, Blue Bonnet Packing Company, and married Bernard White at All Saints Catholic Church, a marriage that lasted 65 years. Bernard's family were well-known as the owners of L. White Boot and Saddle Shop for more than 50 years.
Mary was an avid reader and a devoted fan of the Dallas Cowboys. An excellent cook, she made everyone look forward to holidays. She was a devout Catholic convert, a strong, generous, inspiring woman who was very proud of her family, and never missed a chance to brag about them.
In addition to her parents, Mary was preceded in death by her husband, Bernard; daughters, Rosemary White Drollinger and Jean White; two brothers; and uncles, Roscoe Minton, Tarrant County commissioner from 1954 to 1968, and Sherman Minton, United States Supreme Court Justice from 1949 to 1956.
Survivors: Her son, Bernard "Hunter" White; grandchildren, Jean Stevens, Anne Waters, Beth Hoffacker, Tony Drollinger and Joe Drollinger; 12 great-grandchildren; and many dear friends.
