Kenneth Dale White, 69, of Elizabethtown passed away peacefully on Thursday, February 4, 2021 at Cape Fear Valley Healthcare System in Fayetteville.

Dale, the youngest of eight leaves behind sister, Alice Lane, brothers: Willard White, Charles White and Jerome White. He also leaves behind a bunch of loving nieces and nephews! He was preceded in death and had a heavenly homecoming with his parents, Raymond and Lillian White; sister, Hilda Mosbey; his brothers: Elroy White and Ray White.

Dale was well loved in the community and a faithful servant of God, in church and as a Gideon. He was a member of Farm Bureau board of directors and known throughout the community for delicious boiled peanuts after retiring from farming of 45 years. Dale loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing. He looked forward to Sunday evening suppers with his family and friends. Every August, he hosted a family and friends peanut boil. It was an event many people looked forward to in the year. This is what began his after-retirement family boiled peanut venture.
