Billy Drew White was born July 28, 1929 in Mabank and he went to be with our Lord on May 11, 2013 in Dallas at the age of 83.
As a husband, father, “Pa-Pa,” dedicated employee of Procter & Gamble, and a staple of the community, Billy’s infectious personality could always brighten someone’s day.
Billy is joined on the streets of gold by his loving wife of 64 years, Bessie Mae.
He is survived by his daughter, Sharon Owens and husband George of McKinney; daughter, Phoebe Bowman and husband John of Kaufman; grandchildren, Jeffrey Speight and fiancé Marlena Law of Denton, Shelly Wood and husband James of McKinney, Tiffany Barrett and husband Dustan of Lindale; as well as great-grandchildren, Brandon Wood, Karissa Breckel, Trevor and Chloe Speight, Reagan Wood, Colin Speight, and so many more extended family and friends.
Both Billy Drew and Bessie Mae will be sorely missed by us all.
