Obituary: Marlaine White
Marlaine White, born in New Ulm, Minnesota, to Leonard and Esther Harmening in February 1936, went to meet her Savior and join her parents and daughter, Melonie, on March 13, 2018. Marlaine is survived by Bill, her husband of nearly 60 years, their sons and families: Walt of Costa Mesa, California; Jason of Mamaroneck, New York; Melonie’s son, Brandt of Phoenix; her brother, David of Windom, Minnesota; her sisters, Karen of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, and Shirley of Scottsdale; and many other relatives in Minnesota.
Marlaine was employed at the Salt River Project in Tempe for many years and served as executive secretary of Law and Planning, and later, of Land Management. Marlaine enjoyed tennis and golfing. After retirement, she and Bill spent three months golfing in New Zealand, where they played 35 rounds on the same course. In 1994, they moved to Minnesota to be with Marlaine’s parents and many of her friends and relatives, but returned to Phoenix each winter to golf and see friends. In 2003, they returned to Arizona to better accommodate Brandt’s schooling, and have since resided at the Country Club in Dewey.
Marlaine elected to be cremated. Funeral services will be held at All Saints Anglican Church in Prescott sometime in April, Fr. Dunn presiding.
