Janet White, 91, passed away peacefully on July 2 at her home in Red Bank, NJ.

Janet was born in Erie, PA to the former Kathryn Hearst Pressly and William Everett Brown. She graduated from Academy High School in Erie and earned a BA from Oberlin College where she met her husband, E. Warner White. 

Janet worked at Bell Labs in Holmdel, NJ as a member of the technical staff.  She was active in environmental causes, was an avid gardener and member of the Fair Haven Garden Club, and a long-term member of the League of Women Voters.  She loved spending time with family and was a source of great encouragement and practical support to each one in many ways.

Janet was predeceased by her husband Warner in 2107, and by her son Christopher in 1997. She is survived by her son Philip, daughter Margaret (Peggy) Milliken, grandchildren Kathryn and her husband Stephen LeTrent,  Robin Milliken and her husband Joseph Byron, and great grandchildren Margaret and Jude LeTrent.  

A memorial service will be held on July 20 at 2 p.m. at the First Presbyterian Church of Rumson, 4 East River Rd, Rumson, NJ. Interment will be private at the convenience of the family in Holmdel Cemetery.

Please accept my most sincere condolences on the death of your mother. I knew Janet from the League of Women Voters of Greater Red Bank. What a great generation of community minded women who were devoted to the League and its work toward making our democracy more responsive to the political and envionmental needs of our area. People like Janet, Mary Andrews, Kay Rapere, Elaine Anderson, Carla Wilkinson, Helen Herrmann,Florence Peskoe and Elizabeth Kelly. I am proud to have known them all.
I last saw Janet at the Atrium where she had Mary and I as her luncheon guests. She was a perfect combination of intelligence and kindness.
What a loss to your family and to the community. I am so glad to have known her.
Sincerely,
Jean Klerman
