Sabra Eloise White Obituary (1933

Early Sunday Morning, August 20, 2017, family and friends lost a treasured friend, Sabra E. White (Tucker). She was born in Mercer County Missouri on November 28, 1933 and passed away in Yakima, WA. In 1944 her family moved to Zillah, WA where she graduated from high school. After graduation Sabra was employed with the Federal Bureau of Reclamation where she eventually met Clarence White the love of her life. They were married in the First Christian Church on January 13, 1961. Sabra loved the Seattle Mariners and attended many games in Seattle. As a young girl she was not allowed to play baseball as it was said to be "not lady-like". Other hobbies included: collecting owl figurines, Avon items, history and cook books. She enjoyed the hot Yakima weather but didn't like the snow and ice. She especially appreciated her many friends encountered throughout her life. Over the years, Sabra developed a deep love for genealogy and became an expert at tracing family members for herself and others in conjunction with the Yakima Valley Genealogical Society. Her dedication to family histories led her to become a very active member in several patriotic and history oriented organizations including the Daughters of the American Revolution, in which she served as Chapter Regent for three terms and also as State Treasurer. Likewise, she enthusiastically served in the Daughters of Union Veterans and Colonial Dames, to mention only a few. Sabra is survived by her Son Raymond, daughter-in-law Marcella, grandson Alexander, granddaughter Chandra Gordon as well as great-grandson Jackson Gordon. She is preceded in death by her husband Clarence, parents (Jasper and Elva Tucker) and her brother Billie Tucker. Please join us for the graveside services to be held on Saturday, August 26, 2017, at 11:00 AM at Tahoma Cemetery. A reception for family and friends will follow at Shaw & Sons 201 N. Second Street. Donations may go to her favorite groups: Yakima Valley Genealogy Society, Daughters of the American Revolution, Daughters of Union Veterans, Colonial Dames, or any worthy organization you choose.
