Heather Jolene White

Heather Jolene (Daigh) White, age 41, of Harrison, Arkansas, after a long fight with cancer, passed peacefully in her home from this world on Thursday, Augusut 13 (2015) at 2:10 p.m. surrounded by family and friends.

She was born September 20, 1973, in Springfield, Missouri, the daughter of John Willis Daigh and Betty Olean Daigh.

Heather enjoyed fishing, mowing yards, working on home improvement projects and being with her family and friends. She especially loved and enjoyed being with her daughter, Erica.

She was preceded in death by her paternal grandparents, Fred Lynn Daigh and Nellie (Irene) Daigh-Greenlee; maternal grandparents, Harry Edward Yohe and Lona Mae Yohe; a brother, Jacob Wendell Daigh; and an uncle, Arthur Richard Daigh.

She is survived by her husband, Robert White, of Greenfield, Missouri; her father, John Willis Daigh, of Golden City, Missouri; her mother, Betty Olean Daigh, of Harrison, Arkansas; her mother- and father-in-law, Carolyn and Bob White, of Greenfield, Missouri; a daughter and her fianc, Erica Danielle Daigh and Thomas Webb; a daughter, Randi White; son, Brandon White; granddaughter, Aniol White of Greenfield, Missouri; two brothers: Eric Len Jones and wife, Dawn, and Daniel Edward Jones and wife, Sheila; a sister, Lori Ann (Jones) Wilson and husband, David, all of Harrison; and a sister, Melissa Leigh (Daigh) Prestage and husband, Richard, of Mountain Grove, Missouri; several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and friends.

Heather worked as a CNA as a profession as she loved caring for people. She was a sweet soul who touched many lives outside of her family circle. She had a quirky, crooked smile that radiated to her eyes, a heart so big all the beaches in the world could not compare, (she loved the beach), a silent strength for all her friends to lean on, faith so strong that the devil trembled when her feet hit the floor and a love so tender you couldnt help but fall in love with the special young lady she became. She will surely be missed by those she left behind.

Memorial services will be at Pennsboro Cemetery on October 3, 2015, at 10 a.m.
