It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of Connie Jean White, who left us on November 16, 2025. Born on December 11, 1952, in Canyon, Texas, Connie was a lifelong resident of Texas, where she was raised by her loving parents, Billie and Phyllis Ormsby.

Connie graduated from Canyon High School in 1970 and went on to attend West Texas A&M University, where she earned her Bachelor's Degree and later added two Master's Degrees in Counseling and Education. Her passion for teaching led her to work with the Amarillo Independent School District, as well as at St. Laurence Catholic School and Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic School. She was dedicated to nurturing young minds.

Outside of her important work as an educator, Connie was a proud "Mama" to her grandchildren, showering them with love and wisdom. In the 1990's, she married Jim White. He preceded her in death in 2022. Connie had a soft spot for animals and cherished her pets dearly. She loved a good game of Bunco with family and friends any chance she was given. An avid reader and movie enthusiast, Connie found joy in escaping into stories and sharing her love for film with others.

She is survived by her daughter, Billie Becker and husband Michael of Muenster, TX; son, Matt Sandoval and wife Jennifer Vick of Amarillo; sister, Pattie Nugen and husband Lloyd of Vernon; brother, Robert "Stoney" Ormsby and wife Linda of Willow Park, as well as her 5 beloved grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by her parents and her husband, Jim White.
