Mr. White passed away on Thursday, December 4, 2025. He was born on August 25, 1935 in Atmore, Alabama to Charles James White and Thelma Opal Tullis White. He was a member of Red Ridge United Methodist Church.
Pete loved his family. He was a devoted son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather. Late in life, he would beam from ear to ear when he heard those great-grandboys in person, on FaceTime, or in videos.
Pete also loved all things Auburn. If there was an Auburn sporting event, pregame, postgame, or a Radio Talk show on, you can bet “PawPaw” would be listening to it!! He was an Auburn Graduate and a Korean War Veteran.
He is preceded in death by his wife, Geraldine Walton White; parents, Charles James White and Thelma Opal Tullis White; brother Maurice Earl White; and sister Thelma Jean White Till.
He is survived by his only daughter, Sheree, and her husband Pat Foshee of Chelsea, Alabama; sister, Joan Rounsaville of Atmore, Alabama; 4 grandchildren, Corey Foshee and his wife Megan, Casey Foshee and his wife Liz, Alex Foshee, and Mallory Foshee; 2 great-grandchildren, Ethan and Wells.
