Silver J. “Nanny” White, 85, Mooresville, former longtime Monrovia resident, passed away peacefully at home December 7, 2022. Silver was born September 9, 1937, in Monrovia, to the late Wilbur and Virginia (Atkins) White.
She graduated from Monrovia High School and worked for the former McCloud’s Market and later for Dairyland, both in Monrovia.

Sliver was a member of the Monrovia United Methodist Church and the Monrovia Order of the Eastern Star. Silver or Nanny, as she was affectionately known by many, devoted her lives to others. She was a natural caregiver to her parents and many family members who at different times needed and relied on her unfailing help. She was a huge basketball fan and cheered loudest for the Indiana Pacers. Silver was also a professional wrestling fan – she looked forward to Mondays and Fridays when she would tune into watch all her favorites. Nanny will be fondly remembered by her loving family and many friends for her generous, kind, and caring nature.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by brothers, William and Thomas White; sisters, Margaret Carter and Mary Houk.
Survivors include her daughter, Candace Miles; great nieces and nephews, Shelby Hamilton and Sean Drew; best friend, Pongie Moore; a host of nieces and nephews that she played an instrumental role in all of their lives.

My Aunt Silver was one of a kind, never married, never had children, took care of her parents and looked out for her nieces and nephews . Will love and miss her.
Our Aunt Silver was one of a kind. She dedicated her live to taking care of family. She took care of both her parents, raised Candance and looked out for the rest.
I remember many a holiday, going to Grandma and Grandpa Whites, watched Aunt Silver cooking and having Grandma taste.
Missing all of them so much, prayers for our family.
I worked with Silver at Meijer. She was such a joy to be around. She always asked about my children every time I saw her. She reminded me of my grandma so much! She would always say you better come over here and give me a hug. It so weird my grandma passed away a day after Silver did. Silver will be missed my many.

I only knew her from the Camby Meijer. She was the sweetest lady. Always had a smile and never failed to wish you a good day. I missed her sweet face everyday after she left Meijer. Prayers for the family.
One of the kindest women I was proud to know and call a friend. She will be greatly missed by friends and family. Heaven just gained another wonder Guardian Angel.
