Ruth
Maude Webberley died Dec. 4,
2001, at Stonebridge Nursing Home in Vancouver.
She was 80.
Webberley
was born Nov. 11, 1921,
in Villegreen, Colo.
She was raised in Colorado during the Great Depression, when she learned to face difficult situations
early in life, yet she never lost the ability to laugh or to make others
laugh. She was married at the age of 15
to Earl “Bo” White, who preceded her in
death in 1998. Throughout her life, she
worked in many different occupations, which allowed her to travel throughout
the country. During World War II, she
worked for Boeing as one of the “Rosie the Riveter’s.”
After
retirement, she loved to travel in her motor home or travel trailer and spent
many winters in Arizona. She had a great love for her family.
She
is survived by two sons, Thomas H. White of Austin, Nev., and Lonnie D. White, of Sacramento, Calif.; two daughters, D. Joanne Bennett of Longview, Wash.,
and Linda Willoughby of Camas; 11 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.
A
celebration of life service was held Dec.7 at Straub’s Funeral Home in Camas. Burial followed at Fern Prairie Cemetery.
In
lieu of flowers, memorial donations can be made to Hospice Southwest, P.O. Box 1600, Vancouver, WA 98668.
