The hand of God reached to take Kathy on July 8, 2015. Born to Charles McGill White and Anna Grace Ewing in Commerce, Texas on September 10, 1946. Kathy was active in her church her entire life as she tried to make the world a better place. As a child she was baptized into the First Christian Church of Commerce. She attended Commerce High School where she graduated as the class valedictorian in 1965. She was an honor graduate at E.T.S.U. now Texas A & M Commerce and later at N.T.S.U. now University of North Texas. Her first teaching assignment was in Mesquite, Texas where she stayed until her daughter was born. To stay closer to home she became full-time homemaker, piano teacher, and later a Christian Education Director at Trinity Presbyterian Church now Covenant Presbyterian in Sherman. After her daughter began elementary school, Kathy went back to teaching first in Bells, TX as a 4th grade teacher and later Sherman as a 4th, 1st, and 2nd grade teacher. She retired from teaching in Sherman in 2004 because of blindness brought on by her childhood diabetes.
Kathy remained active in the Sherman community as a foster parent for five years, member of the Sherman Tutorial Education Program Board, Sherman League of Women Voters Board, the Sherman Shakespeare Club, Sherman Altrusa, the American Association of University Women, P.E.O., and Friends of the Sherman Library Board as President.
Kathy loved to help other people! She didn't accept the diabetes as a limitation but continued to be active and travel even as the disease began to rob her of her skills. She especially enjoyed helping children to learn to read and was a trained reading specialist. Kathy also enjoyed music. In addition to the piano, Kathy played the oboe, and clarinet at different times in her life.
Kathy is survived by husband Ron Roberts of Sherman; son Richard Roberts and wife Letty of Lewisville, Texas; daughter Amy McGill of Omaha, Nebraska; brother James White and wife Jane of Commerce; brother Frank Prigmore and wife Carron of Campbell, Texas; sister Shelia Hillis of Greenville, Texas; nephews Chuck and Debbie White of Wichita Falls, Texas and niece Dawn Bohannon and husband Gary of Ector, Texas. She is also survived by several cousins, aunts, four grandchildren, and ninegreat grandchildren.
A memorial service for Kathy will be held on Tuesday, July 21, 2015 at 10:30 a.m. at Covenant Presbyterian Church in Sherman.
In lieu of flowers the family requests that donations be sent to their favorite charity or Covenant Presbyterian Church.
