Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute

Debra Jean Creel White, born in Kansas City, Missouri on December 31, 1955 and passed away March 8, 2019 in Grandview, Missouri. She is survived by her husband Howard L. White II, four children; Kristen Marie White Brown, Justin Carl White, Jon William White and Kara Mae White, son-in-laws Kevin E. Brown and Todd G. Davis, five grandchildren; Jacob Edward Brown, Mackenzie Lynn White, Logan Andrew Brown, Quentin Carl Matthew White and Devin Howard Brown, sister Jackie A. Creel, brother-in-law Arthur E. White, mother-in-law Martha E. White. She was preceded in death by her parents William and Virginia Mae Creel, sister Nancy K. Creel Sidwell and father-in-law Howard L. White.

Debbie was a lifelong resident of Kansas City, where she was a stay at home mom who was actively involved in PTA and her children’s school activities. She was also a second mom to many of her children’s friends. Because of her love for children she went back to work in the Hickman Mills school district when her youngest was 10 years old. She retired from the school district in 2014 after 17 years of service. She would say her greatest accomplishment in life was being a mother, and grandmother. She touched many lives and was loved by all and gave love freely to anyone. Debbie will be greatly missed by those she touched.

A celebration of life gathering will be held Sunday, March 24, 2019 from 2-6 pm at the Yellow Rock Barn, 8307 Westridge Road, Raytown, Mo 64138. In lieu of flowers please forward memorial donations to the American Heart Association or the American Cancer Society in Debbie’s name.

    Debbie was a wonderful friend. I have awesome memories of our kids playing together at her house and she would offer me A Coca-Cola in a 16 oz. bottle. We laughed and talked while the kids played. We will miss her.

    I love you so much mom, there is always going to be a part of my heart missing. Just seeing the outpouring of messages of people you touched makes me want to live that way and continue your legacy and love for everyone. Love you forever.

    Kara and family,
    Your mom was an amazing woman and parent. I remember how involved she was because she wanted the best for you and your siblings. She always had kind words to say and a smile on her face. Your all are in my thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time.

    I met Debbie when I starting working for the district at Ervin. We sat side by side and she taught me a lot. We had a lot of laughs both at work and after work. It was very obvious from the beginning that her family meant everything to her. I spoke with her a couple of months ago and we going to meet up well that never happened. Goes to show you don’t always think there will be a tomorrow. She will be truly missed by many people. My thoughts and prayers are with Howard and the kids, and her grandkids. Until we meet on the other side RIP my friend. ???
