  Mr. MESSER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor, Dorotha White, who 
passed away on Monday, July 3, 2017 in Henry County.
  Mrs. White was born in New Lisbon, Ohio on December 27, 1916. After 
graduating from New Lisbon High School in 1934, she attended Dayton 
Conservatory of Music where she studied piano, organ, and accordion. 
She graced others with her talent for music by providing private piano 
lessons in New Castle, Indiana and played various instruments well into 
her nineties. In addition to her musical pursuits, Mrs. White helped 
run a successful dairy farm with her husband in New Castle and was very 
involved within the community and politics. She had a profound impact 
on countless Hoosiers, and her life should be an inspiration to all.
  Mrs. White was a life member of the New Lisbon Christian Church and 
Henry County Historical Society, a founding member of the Henry County 
Saddle Club, a member of the Live & Learn Club, Indiana Jersey Cattle 
Club, the Brown Road Club, the Lenba Club of Henry County, the P.E.O--
Chapter AD, and the Altruistic Literary Club.
  She served as the Council President on the Henry County Council and 
was a member of the Henry County GOP Club. Her years spent as a 
dedicated public servant will always be remembered and appreciated by 
the community.
  Mrs. White was predeceased by her husband of 57 years, Robert; her 
parents; a brother, Delbert (Virginia) Hoover; and a sister, Betty Ann 
(Donald) Moore. She is survived by her sons, Stephen (Sharon) White and 
David (Susanne) White; her grandchildren Bradley (Deena) White, John 
(Susan) White, Amy (Jim) Byrum, and Christina (David) Whitesell; ten 
great-grandchildren; and four great-great-grandchildren to whom I give 
my deepest sympathies.
