Estelle L. White, 70, Emmet, passed to the Spirit world on Thursday, October 16th, 2014 at home.
Estelle was born January 11, 1944 in Elbowoods, ND to John White Sr. and Florence Badger White. She was raised in Elbowoods and began her primary education at Like-a-Fishhook Village; Ft. Berthold District 1; and Elbowoods. When the Garrison Dam was built, the family relocated to White Shield. She attended the Zeigler School and the new White Shield School. She continued her education and received her Associates of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education at the Ft. Berthold Community College in New Town, ND.
She met Allan Hodges Sr. and they raised their family in Emmet, ND. She began her love of working with children at the Head Start building. She was a stay at home mother to her children as well as providing care for many others in the community. When the kids got older, Estelle went back to work at the White Shield School, first as a Certified Speech Para-professional and then in the Special Education program.
Estelle’s love, dedication and support to her children’s education, music and sports will always be cherished. She was able to enjoy Graceland, Disney World and explore Alaska with her children and grandchildren. Her greatest accomplishment was becoming a grandma and great grandma. Estelle’s home was always open to friends and family. They always looked forward to Fourth of July, Christmas, New Years and birthday parties. She would not let her guests leave without a cup of coffee and a home cooked meal. She would tell stories about square dancing on horses and her adventures on the wagon trains and snowmobile runs. Every school year, Estelle had a barbecue for all the new teachers. She greeted everyone with a warm, heartfelt smile and loved to laugh and joke. She would always bring out a game for all to enjoy, especially the banana and chocolate pudding game!! Her calligraphy was very well known; but not as much as her love for the King, Elvis Presley.
Estelle is survived by her three sons: Allan Jr. of Douglas; Shannon, Emmet, and Edward (Karen), Garrison; two daughters: Luralynn Hodges, Emmet; and Sharon Hodges, Greeley, CO. Nine grandchildren: Dylan (Jeanelle) Hodges, Palmer AK; Angeline SeeWalker, Fargo; Jacob and Gabriel Hodges, Emmet; Camille Hodges, Ocean Shores, WA; Nicholas and Arianna Hodges, Emmet; Sydney and Jeremiah Hintz, Greeley, CO.

Second family consisting of Sara (Jason) Erhardt, Bismarck; Cindy (Andy) Iglehart, Garrison; Robert Painte, Garrison; Sianna Conko and Christine Yellow Bird, both of Fargo.
Brothers: Gerald Sr., White Shield; Wendell, Twin Buttes; Edward, of Parshall; Floyd, White Shield; and Elmer of Fargo.
