Jean was born on May 10, 1928 in Sterling, CO to Robert and Ethel Pronger. As a young girl, her family moved to Southern CA where she lived near the beach. She loved the beach although she never learned to swim. After graduating from High School, she went to work for General Telephone Co. as an Operator. Soon afterwards she began dating Eugene White and corresponded with him while he was in the Army in World War II. Upon his discharge, they were married on February 10, 1947. They were married until Eugene's passing on July 30, 2001. Not wanting her to work outside the home, Jean began her life as a homemaker. Living in Downey, CA she gave birth to two Daughters, Linda Jean born July 16, 1949 and Lana Jane born January 4, 1955. She loved being a homemaker and was a meticulous housekeeper and gardener. In 1961 Eugene was transferred with General Telephone Co and the family moved to Thousand Oaks, CA. Jean thought she moved to the Taj Mahal having a new home with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
Jean enjoyed camping at Huntington Lake where we spent many family vacations. Jean and Eugene were an avid sports fan. They enjoyed baseball, basketball, football, boxing, NASCAR, hockey and even ultimate fighting. She knew all the players and their backgrounds. Jean and Eugene especially loved watching USC Football and the LA Rams. Jean attended many NASCAR races with her Daughter Linda in Phoenix, AZ and had her permanent seat each year. Upon Eugene's retirement, the next 10 years was spent traveling throughout the United States. They had many, many wonderful trips together. Jean was strong in her faith and attended the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Jean also loved her Grandchildren and Great Grandchildren. She would visit them several times a year. Jean also loved fast cars. She could be seen around Salmon in her sporty red Mustang with the darkened windows, rally stripes and loud tailpipes! You could hear her coming before you could see her!
Jean was proceeded in death by her loving husband Eugene White and parents Robert Pronger and Ethel Carver.
She is survived by her Sister, Pearl Pronger, Children Linda Simpson (husband Rob) and Lana Cabigas (husband Johnny), Grandchildren, Clint (wife Edith), Jason (wife Amber), Carrie (husband Chris) and seven Great Grandchildren, Tyler, Tyson, Merrick, Savannah, Shawn, Brooklyn and McKenna.
