Obituary For Cameron White

Cameron White, born August 28, 1917, passed away peacefully in his home at The Gardens in Grande Prairie on Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at the age of 99 years.

Cameron spent 87 years on the family homestead at Scenic Heights. Cameron and Mabel enjoyed their time farming the land and they were progressive and successful in this venture. Cameron was an avid hunter, fisherman, trapper, card player and woodworker. Cameron was a wonderful man who cherished his family and he was greatly loved in return.

Cameron is survived by his four children, Gerald (Debbie) White, Joan White, Trudy (Lance) Edgar, and Jim (Susan) White. Grandpa was loved dearly by his grandchildren: Jeff (Jaycee) Edgar, Myles (Leah Jackson) Edgar, Adam (Lisa Coyne) White, Andrea Adam, Amanda (Riley) Orr, Lowell (Brianne) Edgar, Lisa Adam; as well as his five special great-grandchildren: Eloise Edgar, Cameron Edgar, Sullivan Edgar, Grace Edgar, and Mack Orr.

Cameron was predeceased by his wife and sweetheart Mabel White; his parents Milton and Grace; brother Gordon; sister Evelyn; and many in-laws.

Cameron was a hardworking man of strong faith. He was meticulous and he influenced many with his wisdom and values.

    Dear Trudy and family: So sorry to hear of your dad's passing. It will be a difficult time for you all. You are in our thoughts and prayers. I was privileged to meet your parents when I worked in La Glace. They were a gracious and welcoming couple and it was my good fortune to meet them. I also was able to meet them through our mutual work with the United Church . They were compassionate and caring and I know you and your family will miss them. Remember they will be in your hearts and memories will make you smile. Take care Sincerely Ann and Jim Nordhagen

    We would like to send our condolences to everyone. We're sorry to hear he didn't make his 100th! We think of him often as we use the stool he gave us for a wedding present as an end table in our Livingroom - too nice to sit on! Our memories are many of good times spent with the White family. Again our sympathies. Matt & Valerie
