Edith White

Edith White, age 103 went home to her God on May 22, 2023.  Present for her journey were her son, David, and her devoted personal aide Marie Paul.  Edith is survived David White (Mary) of Brockton, granddaughters Sarah Woodard of Colorado and Debbie Hewes (Henry) of California, nephew Frankin Levy (Lynda) of California and nieces Barbara Arnold of Newton, Adele Miller (Marty) of Easton, Linda Shapiro (Steve) of Virginia, Susan Fine (David Bruckart) of New York and many great-nieces and nephews.  She was predeceased by her parents Louis and Rae Franklin of Brighton, beloved husband Aaron, daughter Joy Petitte (Michael Manheim) of Newton, grandson Tim Petitte of New York, and sisters Doris Levy and Winifred Franklin both of Newton.

Edie loved children and for several years volunteered to read to children in a local elementary school.  More recently, she enjoyed visits from her step-grandchildren and great-grandchildren.  She was also an avid reader, loved to walk and was an exceptional gardener, wringing beauty out of a small, mostly shady yard.

Friends and family are invited to attend Edith’s funeral service on Wednesday, 5/24/23 at 1:00 PM at Temple Sinai, 25 Canton Street, in Sharon, with burial immediately following in Sharon Memorial Park.  There will be a catered Shiva at her home.  If unable to attend, please consider a donation to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, 465 Waverly Oaks Road, Suite 202, Waltham, MA, 02452, which would be greatly appreciated.
