Carolyn Beach "Teeny" White, age 93, went home to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ on Tuesday October 14, 2025 at Stanley Total Living Center. She was born in Gaston County, daughter of the late Thomas Beach and Florence Auten Beach. In addition to her parents, she is preceded in death by her loving husband of 55 years James White, Sr.; her siblings: Bryce Beach, Meldona Broome, Joyce McGinnis, Ted Beach, and Joe Beach; as well as her grandson Bryan Craig.
She started her career as an administrative assistant at Sodyeco and retired after 18 years of service with Sandoz.
Carolyn found happiness in many aspects of life including Gospel music where she played the piano at Oak Grove Baptist Church in Charlotte for many years. She loved her entire family and she will be missed by all that knew and loved her. She always enjoyed trips to the mountains, as well as finding deals at yard sales. She was known for her cooking, especially her cakes.
Those left to cherish her memory include her children: Lisa Craig (Bobby), and James White Jr. (Jenny), her grandchildren: Shannon Medford, Jason Craig, Jamie Craig, and Jonathan Heffner; sixteen great grandchildren, two great great grandchildren, as well as numerous nieces and nephews.
A service to celebrate her life will be held at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday October 19, 2025 in the Chapel of Woodlawn Funeral Home in Mount Holly with Pastor Kenny Bowers officiating. The family will receive friends beginning one hour prior to the service on Sunday also at the Funeral Home. Burial will follow at Hillcrest Gardens Cemetery in Mount Holly.
