Mrs. White was an LVN in Big Spring, Texas at the Medical Arts Hospital where she taught LVN school. She moved with her husband to Galveston County in 1973. She worked as an O.R. nurse at Galveston County Hospital until she became the Director of Sterile Processing at U.T.M.B. While there she started the Case Cart System that is still in use. She worked there for 23 years until retiring.
Mrs. White was an active member at Christ’s Church Assembly of God of Clear Lake. While there she and her husband began what was known as the “Friday Club” which involved the College and Career Students. She remained close to many of those members till the very end. Veda’s hobby was her family. She had the fastest draw in town to show her album of grandchildren’s pictures and could not be persuaded that hers were not the best and brightest. She will always be remembered lovingly as “Nina,” to her grands and great-grands.

The Family would like to thank the staff at Methodist Hospital in Nassau Bay and especially the staff of Houston Methodist Continuing Care Hospital in Katy, TX who lovingly cared for her and her family till her promotion to heaven.
