John Weslie White, son of John Glen and Lucille (Kassik) White, was born October 27, 1932, two miles east of Dacoma and passed away December 27, 2018, at Oklahoma City at the age of 86 years and 2 months.
He graduated from Dacoma High School. In 1950, he was united in marriage to Nelda Lou Quast in Alva. Their hobbies were making crafts and quilts and going to craft shows. They had two children, John Louie (J.L.) White and Cindia Gail. John lost his wife of 52 years in 2002.
John had a very active life. He was an artist and everyone enjoyed his beautiful paintings.
He worked at Starr Lumber about 10 years. He did remodeling and building new homes. He then worked for Savere Refrigeration for about 10 years, then doing full-time farming in the summer and building new homes and remodeling in the winter.

It meant so much to him to help build the new addition on his church, the Zion Lutheran Church. John served as an elder and on other church boards for several years.
In 2003, he married Alfreda Doherty. He continued farming but also enjoyed traveling with friends, taking their RV to area lakes and camping, and playing cards and train dominoes. In 2018, they moved to The Homestead. They enjoyed their many friends, family and extended family.
