Elben Reece White, age 91 of Sevierville, went peacefully to be with his Lord and Savior on November 6, 2009 at his home with family by his side. He was a loving husband, devoted father, grandfather and great grandfather. A very hard working man, Mr. White retired from ALCOA South Plant after 38 years of service, a member of the 25 year club. He had a zest for life, he enjoyed gardening with the philosophy that the more he gave away, the better the crop would produce the next year. He was a faithful member of First Baptist Church, Sevierville and the CAB Sunday School class for 47 years until his health began to decline.
Born to James and Pearl White on December 17, 1917, he was the second of eight children. He was preceded in death by his parents; son, James McClellan White; Son-in-law, Harley Lewis; siblings, Ola Douglas, James “Mutt” White, Jack White, Billy White, and Carlon White.
He is survived by his loving wife of 71 and one half years: Jean White
