Deborah Ann White

Deborah Ann (Fleming) White, was born in Richmond Virginia on May 2, 1953, to the union of Dallas and Elizabeth (Tompkins) Fleming. Their family moved to Chicago, Illinois in 1954.

Deborah was a bundle of joy from the very beginning and continued to be throughout her rest of her life. From an early age and on into her teenage years she enjoyed reading, movies, music, singing, roller skating, and good friends. Deborah attended Christian Fenger High School and graduated in June 1971. After high school, her focus shifted to automobile repair and hairstyling. Deborah attended Kennedy-King College where she studied Auto Mechanics and later attended Wilfred Beauty Academy to study cosmetology.

Deborah became a mother of one (1) before entering college, where she then met and married Carl White Sr. and together they went on to have two (2) children. In December of 2012, she moved to Georgia to be with her eldest daughter and grandchildren where she lived out the rest of her life. Deborah was very outgoing, energetic, enthusiastic, entertaining and even hilarious at times. She was a strong, yet kind person and her magnetic personality drew people to her, allowing her to develop friendships wherever she went. Our family was blessed to have shared their lives with her. She will be missed and we will never be the same without her.
