Renee White's Obituary
Renee White, age 67, of Centerville, passed away Friday, November 21, 2025 at MercyOne Medical Center in Centerville.
Renee was born on March 2, 1958 in Centerville, Iowa, the daughter of Fred and Ethel Garrison.
Renee's life was a testament to her deep love for those around her. She will be remembered for always being ready to lend a hand or offer a listening ear to anyone in need. Her spirit and her easygoing nature made her a friend to all who crossed her path.
Renee found great joy in the simple pleasures of life. She cherished every moment spent with her grandchildren, whose laughter and smiles were her greatest treasures. A lover of nature, she was often found sitting outside, soaking in the beauty around her, or riding her bike around town when she was able.
Her love for her dogs was unmatched-she adored them to the moon and back, treating them like family members. Renee was also known for her natural green thumb, that reflected her nurturing spirit.
An avid fan of soap operas, Renee could often be found relaxing with her favorite shows, but her true joy came from the connection she had with others. Her ability to make anyone feel at ease and her genuine interest in the lives of others made her someone who was easy to talk to and trust.
Renee's legacy of love, will continue to live on in the hearts of her family, friends, and all who had the privilege of knowing her. She was a truly special soul, and she will be deeply missed.
Left to cherish Renee's memory are her children, Kaytee Gregson, Stacey Agnew, Jessica Orman, and Michael Orman; her grandchildren, River Palmer, Zoie Marberry, Deke Brooks, Josie Adams, and Macy Adams; her sister, Linda Thomas; as well as several extended family members and friends.
Renee was preceded in death by her parents, Fred and Ethel Garrison; her husband, David White; her granddaughter, Journey Marberry; and her brother, Ronnie Garrison.
Per wishes, cremation has been accorded. A Celebration of Life service will be announced at a later date. Memorials may be made to the family, to be used towards final expenses, and may be mailed to Thomas Funeral Home, ATTN: Renee White Family, 501 North 18th Street, Centerville, Iowa 52544.
