Mrs. Janet Gail White, age 70, Jonesborough, passed away Thursday, March 30, 2017 at Sycamore Shoals Hospital.
Mrs. White attended University Parkway Church until she got sick. She volunteered at Berea Church Pantry and the Red Cross. She was able to meet a lot of wonderful people and her life was enhanced because of them.

So sad to hear of the passing of your mother. She was a
wonderful person/boss and friend. Will miss her greatly. Love
and Condolences to all.
I had the pleasure of working with Gail at JCPenney. She was
the sweetest, kindest, hardest working lady I had ever worked
with. Her bubbly, upbeat attitude was refreshing, and her
smile was genuine. She taught me a lot about the shoe
business, about JCPenney, and about treating customers with
the utmost respect. My prayers go out to her family and many
friends. She will be missed.
