Marlene White

Marlene Mildred White, a cherished mother, grandmother, and friend, passed away of natural causes on July 18, 2024, at the age of 86, in Vernon, CT. Born on April 23, 1938, in Manchester, CT, she was the beloved daughter of the late Michael and Mildred Regetts and the sister to the late Donna J. Regetts. Marlene was predeceased by her devoted husband, Robert White in 1980, and her loving daughter, Robin White, who left this world too soon in 1984.
Marlene's life was one of compassion and service, exemplified by her career as a Nurse's Aid. Her dedication to caring for others was not just her profession but a calling she embraced wholeheartedly. Her work was not merely a job but a reflection of her character, as she brought light and love into the lives of countless individuals.
Beyond her professional life, Marlene was a woman of elegance and style. She had an eye for fashion and a love for shopping, always ensuring her outfits were coordinated down to the smallest detail. Her nails were impeccably manicured, her makeup flawless, and she never left home without her signature perfectly drawn eyebrows. Marlene's passion for collecting bears and antiques reflected her appreciation for beauty and nostalgia, and each piece in her collection had a special story.
Marlene's spirit will be carried on by her daughters, Carol N. Curtis and Sherry M. White, her son-in-law Bryan M. Curtis, and her cherished granddaughter Jessica L. Curtis. They will remember her as a pillar of strength, a source of wisdom, and a beacon of joy in their lives. Her legacy of love and elegance will live on through them, as they continue to honor her memory in their daily lives.
Marlene's life was a tapestry of love, kindness, and resilience. She faced the loss of her husband and daughter with a strength that inspired all who knew her. Her ability to find joy in the simple pleasures of life, to cherish every moment with her family, and to uplift those around her with her indomitable spirit was a gift to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
As we bid farewell to Marlene, we celebrate a life well-lived, full of moments that will be treasured forever. She was a woman who taught us the value of grace under pressure, the importance of caring for one another, and the beauty of living a life true to oneself. Marlene Mildred White will be deeply missed, but her legacy will continue to shine brightly in the hearts of those who loved her.
