Margaret Ayers White

Margaret Ayers White, 92, passed away Monday, July 17, 2017. She was born in Washington, NC on March 10, 1925 to the late Edwin W. and Laura Stedman Ayers. Margaret grew up in Raleigh and proudly attended Hugh Morrison High School. 

After graduating, she and several of her friends went to work for Western Union - a job which enabled her to work and travel during the war. On June 15, 1947, she married William "Bill" Albert White and from that union had five children. 

Margaret eventually left the banking industry and began a new career with the US Postal Service, from which she retired in 1986. Post-retirement, she and Bill spent many years traveling in their motor home, often loading up half the family for week-long getaways.

Although Margaret was an active member of the Eastern Star, the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the First Families of North Carolina, she was most active at being "Mema" to her six grandchildren and five great-grandchildren. She was a lively, spirited woman whose memory will be cherished forever.

Margaret is survived by her loving children Barbara Shand and husband, Kevin; Patricia Lewis and husband, Todd; John White and wife, Sherry; and Billy White. She leaves behind grandchildren Jennifer Dew, Mark Aubut, Steven White, Robert Haynes, Amy Lewis, and Eric White, and great-grandchildren Heather and Shelby Dew, Ellie White, Samantha Aubut, and Robert "Bo" Haynes. She is also survived by her dear brother James Cordon Ayers of Columbus, Ohio.

The family requests no flowers, but please honor their mother and remember their sister, Peggy Adams, by making donations to Rex Healthcare Foundation's Peggy Adams Scholarship Fund. Checks should be sent to Rex Healthcare at 2500 Blue Ridge Road, Raleigh, NC 27607.

Arrangements under the direction of Mitchell Funeral Home at Raleigh Memorial Park, Raleigh, NC.
