Evelyn Davidson White, 85, of Leonardtown, MD died at her home, surrounded by her loving family on May 22, 2013 in Leonardtown, MD.

Born November 25, 1927, in Colerain, NC, she was the daughter of the late John C. Davidson and Maggie Mae Clark Davidson.

She married Aubrey Clayton White in 1944 and began a lifelong career as a homemaker and mother.
They were inseparable until his death in 1990.

Evelyn was devoted to her church, Fairview Heights Baptist Church and her family. She was an active member of the church for over 40 years, finding tremendous fellowship and satisfaction in the Ruth Sunday School class, where she did many acts of community service and outreach.

She enjoyed cooking, playing cards and fishing. Her greatest love in life was the wonderful time spent with her family and exploring new and interesting friends. She was known for the depth of her relationships, her full presence when listening to others, and the sweetness and gentleness she brought to most situations.

She was also the life of the party, never missing an opportunity to share fun and playful experiences. Her most recent home, Cedar Lanes in Leonardtown, was a source of tremendous joy, excitement and comfort for her. She thrived in the company of other like-minded souls and often expressed deep gratitude for the wonderful support, care and love she found there.

She is survived by her children, Iris Shedrick of Drayden, MD, Pat McKenney (Shepard) of Drayden, MD and Darrell White (Donna) of Chesapeake, VA; seven grandchildren; ten great-grandchildren; and many nieces, nephews and extended family. She is preceded in death by her parents.
