Izola "Dodie" Orleta White, 86, of Hollywood, MD passed away peacefully at home on June 7, 2009.

Dodie was born in Adrian, Michigan on April 2, 1923 to the late Thomas and Lelah Hilyard.

In 1958 she and her husband Richard moved from Michigan to Florida where she kept herself busy raising her two children and being an active member of the Community United Methodist Church. She enjoyed spending time doing crafts and needlework, but more than anything, she enjoyed spending time with the family that meant everything to her. Dodie moved into the home of her daughter and son in law in Maryland in 2003 after the passing of her husband of forty six years.

Dodie is survived by her son, Jeff White of Florida, her daughter, Vickie Frederick and her husband Ron of Maryland, grandchildren; Eric Frederick, Ryan Frederick, Kevin Frederick, Jennifer Nienhouse, Jackie Killoran, and Jeff White II, and great grandchildren; Kassidy Frederick, BJ Frederick, Austin Frederick, Michael Frederick, Michael Watson, Matthew Watson, Joshua Gilman, Joseph Killoran and Jordan Killoran.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Richard H. White, three brothers, and five sisters.

Arrangements will be made in Florida for her burial.

Memorial contributions may be made to Hospice of St. Mary's, P.O. Box 625, Leonardtown, MD 20650.
