Obituary
Our beloved mother and wife, Carol Dawn Ruppenthal White went home to be with her Savior Jesus on July 9, 2020. Born September 20, 1936 at the crack of “Dawn” at a farm next to her granddaddy Gollers, she was the first-born daughter of the late Vernon G. Ruppenthal and Opal Goller Ruppenthal. Carol was a faithful wife, loving mother, grandmother, and generous friend. She loved making pots of soup and giving them to her friends when they were sick and checking in on them. She was quick to tell you about her faith and give you good advice. She loved flowers, cards, decorating, and watching the birds. She was beautiful inside and out. Carol is survived by her husband of 65 years, Stephen Charles White; one daughter, Pamela Dawn Unger and husband, Mike Unger; one son, Stephen Gregory White; four grandchildren, Jessica Dawn Ayers, Philip Stephen Pittsnogle, Jacob Paul Pittsnogle, and Shane Michael Unger; ten great grandchildren, Austin, and Logan Pittsnogle, Isabella, Hunter, and Nora Pittsnogle, Raymond, Devon, Caiden, Weston, and Emerson Ayers; one brother, Michael Ruppenthal and wife, Christine; six sisters, Sandra Tower, Jackie Bond and husband, Larry, Doris Clutter, Penny Kelly and husband, Bill, Mary Ann Grimm and husband, Junior, and Debbie Hershman and husband, Craig; and numerous nieces and nephews that she loved. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by one brother, Benton Ruppenthal; and one sister, Robin Gnegy. Direct Burial will be at Terra Alta Cemetery near her parents. Plot generously donated by her sister, Mary Ann and husband, Junior Grimm. A Celebration of Life service is planned to be held on her birthday, September 20, 2020 at Corinth Methodist Church, where her father served as Pastor for many years. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital or Children’s Hospital Oncology. Mom had a heart for children with cancer. Thank You for all the many cards,and flowers that she received during her hospitalization and Hospice Care. They really brightened her days. Arrangements by Brown Funeral Home.
