Elva Stout White JEROME - Elva Stout White, 92, of Jerome, passed away Saturday, Oct. 31, 2009, in Farmington, Utah. She was born in LaVerkin, Utah, on Aug. 1, 1917, to Allen William Stout and Ellen Isabel Thurston. She attended school in LaVerkin. On Oct. 15, 1935, she married Ivan Giles White in the St. George Utah Temple. They were married for 67 years until Ivan's passing in 2002. She moved with her family several times before settling in Jerome and buying Jerome Gas and Oil. She was active in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in several capacities, but her love was working with the children in the Primary organization. She and her husband retired in 1970 and in 1976 they were called to serve a mission in the Arkansas Little Rock Mission. They traveled extensively during their retirement years. She cared for Ivan for 11 years before his passing and was a loving wife and companion. She was an immaculate housekeeper, wonderful cook and a beautiful seamstress. Her beautiful hand-crocheted tablecloths and intricate doilies and afghans grace the homes of all her children and grandchildren. Spending time at her home was always enjoyable. Elva is survived by five children, Wendell Charles (Judy) White of Bountiful, Utah, Sharon (Garry) Deuel of Sandy, Utah, Richard Allen (Lynda) White, of Fremont, Calif., Francie (Ken) Wzorek of San Diego, Calif., and Kent Randall (Vicki) White of Ivins, Utah. She is also survived by one sister, Norma Sanders of LaVerkin, Utah, 30 grandchildren; 53 great-grandchildren; and eight great-great-grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband; their son, David Ivan White; a great-granddaughter, Katie Lloyd and three sisters. We express our appreciation to Dr. Cole Johnson MD, Twin Falls Care Center and Country Care in Farmington, Utah. A service will be held at11 a.m. Saturday, Nov. 7, at the Jerome LDS 1st Ward Chapel, 825 East Avenue B, Jerome, Idaho, with a visitation beginning at 10 a.m. Interment will follow in the Jerome City Cemetery.
