Janet Gail Peters White was born on Jul 7, 1935 to Mike G. & Texie Beatrice (Calhoun) Peters (both deceased) in Hampton, Tn. She was born at home with the assistance of a midwife which was the custom at the time in and around Carter County. She received her Angel wings after a 10 year battle with dementia on April 18, 2017. She spent her childhood in East Tennessee, roaming the hills & hollers with her siblings, cousins, & friends. She attended both Hampton Elementary and Hampton High School. The family moved to Mishawaka, Indiana when she was a teenager & it was there that she met Nathan Eugene White.

During their marriage, they resided in Indiana, Arkansas, Mississippi; eventually ending up back in Hampton, Tennessee in the early '80's. They helped care for Mike & Texie in their later years & elected to stay in the area after their deaths. In those years, Janet Gail had a constant parade of pets: chickens, goats (one of which enjoyed car rides), cats, & rescued dogs. She had a particular fondness for hummingbirds.
