Doris Swihart Burnette White, 71, of Morgantown, passed away peacefully at her home surrounded by family on Tuesday, Feb. 22, 2022. Doris was born in Morgantown on Dec. 16, 1950, daughter to Kenneth J. and Pauline Nabors Swihart.
Doris spent many years as a private duty caregiver and was a blessing to the families she cared for.
Her greatest joy in life was her family; she loved spending time with them.
Doris had an infectious smile and a great sense of humor. She brightened every room she walked into and could tear up a karaoke machine.
She is survived by her beloved husband, Randy Allen White, who stood by her side throughout her battle; her children, Timothy Charles Burnette and fiancée Amelia Foreman, Stephanie and Kenny Willis, Tammy and Stephen Pirlo, Tyler and Tess Fike and Adam White; grandchildren, Kali, Tanner, Jaxson, Addison, Stella and Leila; and one great-grandson, Odin.
Also, surviving is her sister, Maryann and Danny Baker; numerous nieces and nephews, whom she loved dearly; and her best friend of more than 60 years, Jackie Byuse.
She was preceded in death by her parents; sister, Beverly Jane Baker; nephew, Daniel Kenneth Baker; and granddaughter, Rylee Sierra Burnette.
The family will receive friends at the Fred Jenkins Funeral Home, from 2-8 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 24, and again from noon until the time of services at 1 p.m. on Friday. She will be laid to rest at the Nicholson Chapel Cemetery.
The family would like to give a special thanks to Mary Mays for standing by the family and being a good friend to Doris, Sherry Bosley for taking such good care of her and Carla and Char from Amedisys Hospice for their compassion.
