Obituary: Frances White – Updated<\/strong><\/p>\n

Frances May White<\/p>\n

Beloved wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and aunt, Frances May
\nWhite passed peacefully on January 26th after 92 blessed years of life. Deaf
\nsince the age 13, Frances refused to see this as a detriment, developed a
\npassionate heart for deaf children, and taught for over 40 years in several
\nschools for the deaf, including many years at the Texas School for the Deaf
\nin Austin. As a high school math teacher, she encouraged her students to
\nachieve high scholastic goals and attend college.<\/p>\n

Frances was a Girl Scout leader and sponsor of the Junior National
\nAssociation of the Deaf on the TSD campus. She graduated from the Alabama
\nSchool for the Deaf, received her Bachelor’s degree from Gallaudet
\nUniversity where she was Valedictorian, and a Masters degree in Education
\nfrom the University of Texas at Austin. In 1981, after her retirement from
\nteaching, she accompanied her husband Ralph to the Oklahoma school for the
\nDeaf where he served for 10 years as the first deaf superintendent.<\/p>\n

Born in Alabama, she was known as the quintessential Southern lady, famous
\nfor her cooking and hostess skills. She exhibited quiet dignity and strength
\nwith a wonderful sense of humor. Frances loved animals and was known to
\nbefriend neighbor’s cats when she did not have her own.<\/p>\n

She is survived by her daughter, Vicki Vystrcil and son in law, John
\nVystrcil of Frisco TX, grandsons Chris and Scott Vystrcil, great
\ngrandchildren Cassandra and Christopher Vystrcil, nieces Georgia Warwick and
\nCarolyn Green, and nephew John May. She was preceded in death by her
\ncherished husband of over 55 years, Ralph White, and her brother, John May.<\/p>\n

The family invites you to attend a Celebration of Life memorial service to
\nbe held at Grace United Methodist Church in Austin TX on Saturday March 5th,
\n2011. It was Frances’ wish that, in lieu of flowers, donations may be made
\nto Deaf Seniors of America, 6100 Jays Lane, Austin, TX 78749, Best Friends
\nAnimal Society, 5001 Angel Canyon Rd, Kauab, UT 84741, or Gallaudet
\nUniversity, 800 Florida, Washington DC 20002.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
