Barbara Elaine White

Ilion - Barbara White, 76, of Ilion, passed away on Thursday, May 23, 2024 at home, due to lingering health problems
Barbara was born on January 8, 1948 to Charles Earl and Thelma M. Holcomb White. She attended Ilion schools, followed by Monroe Community College, where she achieved an Associates Degree in Applied Science. Most of her working career was in various local banks; in later years, she joined Birnie Bus where she spent 8 years driving school bus in the Ilion area.
She was always a great lover of sports. An avid bowler for many years on various leagues, she enjoyed the game and tournaments immensely, and her many bowling friends made. Later, she started playing golf at Maple Crest, a great way to be outside! And Sundays with Sandy at the Knights of Columbus, watching football and buying scratch off tickets, always hoping! She also loved her trips to the Turning Stone. During vacation time, she loved camping at 8th Lake in the Adirondacks, where she had been going since childhood, and road trips to Maine, Cape Cod, and Niagara Falls.
She leaves her closest friend of 23 years, Lynn Hervey, her beloved cat Timmy, Gerry and Paul Presser, who she shared many wonderful holiday dinners with, and her great neighbors, Harold and Teresa Mitchell, Joe and Judy McKenzie, and Andy Monahan who have all been so very helpful throughout her illness. She also has always enjoyed getting together with old school friends and reunions.
