Joyce Ann White, aka "Gee", "The Great Geezer", and "The Force", passed from this life on January 15th, 2025, surrounded by the love of her family and with her daughter by her side. Formerly of Brownsville, VT and Plainville, MA, Joyce was born in Johnston, Rhode Island, the cherished daughter of Howard & Doris Randall.

She grew up in Greenville, Rhode Island with her parents, family, friends and her beloved older sister, Elaine. She was an active member of the Greenville Baptist Church where she sang in the choir and graduated from Smithfield High School.

Joyce married the love of her life, Earl A. White, in 1955 and they celebrated 65 years together before his passing in 2020.

She loved her family above all else and was happiest amongst her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She taught them that camping meant the Hilton, never to buy wool-blend, how to demolish a lobster, that it was always 5 o'clock somewhere and, most of all, to love unconditionally.

A kidney transplant recipient of 17 years, her only regret was not being able to pass that gift on at the time of her death.

Joyce is survived by her daughter Patricia Kurtzhalz and adored son-in-law Chuck of Brownsville, VT, her son Earl White and daughter-in-law Kathy of Charlestown, NH, granddaughter Annalise Ennis, husband Jade, and great-granddaughter and mini-me Helen Joyce of Brownsville, VT, granddaughter Gelsey Tolosa, husband Ben, and great-granddaughters Brianna, Hazel, and MacKenzie of New London, NH, and grandson Kristian Kurtzhalz, wife Nikki, and great-grandchildren Sterling and Nash of Brownsville, VT.

She is also survived by her step-grandson John Downs, wife Liz, and children Ryan and Emma of Hanover, MA, step-grandson Lt. Commander Chad Downs, wife Stephanie, and children Boston and Sullivan of Norfolk, VA, and her step-granddaughter Lindsey Downs, fiancé Mike Noble, and children Cameron, Morgan, and Maisyn of Naples, FL, many beloved nephews, nieces, godchildren, and her daughter-in-heart, Mary Gavin and husband Mike of Grantham, NH.

A celebration of Joyce's life will be held in the spring. Margaritas will be raised in tribute.
