Carolyn "Sue" White, 84, Accomplished Crafter

Born in McAlester, Oklahoma on September 21, 1934, Sue had been a resident of Ohio since her childhood. She was a graduate of Clearview High School.

Mrs. White had been employed as a sales associate for seven years in the toy department of the Hill’s Department Store formerly located on Grove Avenue in Lorain.

She was an accomplished crafter who demonstrated exceptional skill and interest in the areas of counted cross stitch and tole painting. She also enjoyed socializing with her “card club” friends and was regarded as a loyal fan and supporter of QVC by her family. In addition, she dedicated a significant portion of each day to caring for her pet cats.

She leaves daughters Laura Holody of Avon Lake and Lisa (Gary) Heiland of Amherst, along with grandchildren Brooke Armstrong, Lindsey Ramirez, Justin Hughes, Jordan Hughes, and Jarrod Hughes. Additional survivors include great grandchildren Madison, Eva, Cecily, Mia, and Noah.
