Patricia Jo Monday White, lovingly known as Pat, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Monday, January 26. She was born on January 22, 1938, in Dodge City, Kansas, to the late Marie and Lonnie Monday. She was an only child and was raised in Ponca City, Oklahoma.

Patricia graduated from nursing school in Texas, where she met the love of her life. She and Donald Ray White were married on May 16, 1959, sharing 66 years of marriage centered on faith, family, and one another. Together, they built a life rooted in love, raising their children in Howard County, Maryland. In later years, they made their home in Rehoboth, Delaware, before eventually relocating to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

Patricia was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great- grandmother. She is survived by her beloved husband, Donald Ray White, age 87, of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; her daughter, Cindy Waller and her husband Troy of Baltimore; her son, Larry White and his wife Barbara of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina; her grandchildren, Cody Stewart, Makenzie Stewart, Johnny White, Erin White, and Joanna Decker and her husband Shawn; her great-granddaughters, Haylie and Madison; and her great-great-granddaughter, Elisa.

A woman of strong Christian faith, Patricia shared her love of God through music. She sang in her church choirs and faithfully played the piano during worship services, offering her talents in praise and service.

She will be remembered for her quiet strength, her steadfast faith, and her deep love for her family. She leaves behind a legacy of love that will be carried on through generations.

A memorial service will be held at Surfside Presbyterian Church, located at 8732 U.S. Highway 17 Bypass South, Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 11:00 a.m.
