Note: Memorial to Mary Moorman White||Mary Winston Moorman, daughter of Robert Lee and Maud Winston Moorman', was born near Lynchburg in Campbell County, Virginia on January 7, 1898.
She was educated by tutors at home, then in the Lynchburg school system through most of her school years but graduated from high school at Charlotte Court House, Virginia.
She taught school in the Methodist Children's Home in Richmond, Virginia for two years, and then for a year in Wylliesburg, Virginia before her marriage to Isaac Cox White on October 16, 1919. To this union was given one son, Lee Moorman White. She is survived by him as well as her husband, her father (who is 101 years old), six sisters and two brothers.
She became a resident of Southampton County after her marriage and during the long years from then until her sudden death on January 30, 1969, she was a deeply concerned and faithful member of Bethel Monthly Meeting of Friends and through this relationship ably served on many other Friends' organizations as well as civic and ecumenical groups with which Quakers cooperate. She became the Recording Clerk of Bethel Monthly Meeting in January of 1924 and was its presiding clerk from January 1950 until January 1969.
Her myriad responsibilities among the larger Friends circles included serving for many years on both the Nominating and Peace and Social Order Committees of Baltimore Yearly Meeting. She was clerk of the Committee for Aid to African Students of Baltimore Yearly Meeting and president of the Allen Fund of the Religious Society of Friends for several years prior to her death.
She was a faithful attender at the annual sessions of her Yearly Meeting and had not missed a session of the Five Years Meeting (now Friends United Meeting) since 1935, She served effectively on the FYM Board of Peace and Social Concerns for several terms.
In addition she attended the 1937 Friends World Conference held at Swarthmore, Penna., and the Greensboro Gathering of the 1967 Friends World Conference at Guilford College, N.C.
With her good husband, Isaac, she journeyed far and near to attend and support endless gatherings, committee meetings, institutes and retreats in the interests of Friends and to help deepen her relentless search for the reality of God in her life. This constant faithfulness led to her appointment and reappointment over the years to various committees and the executive boards of the Virginia Council of Churches, the Chaplaincy Service of Virginia, the Alcohol Education Council of Virginia, and the Virginia Council of Human Relations, She was instrumental in organizing the Franklin (Va.) Council of Human Relations in 1964
With all these responsibilities she still had time to make her home a center of hospitality and spent many hours of joyous fellowship with a great host of friends from close by as well as from a distance. Her home was a haven for travelling Friends and they were blessed by her loving concern for them. She sheltered the young, the old, the weary and the despairing among us. She rejoiced at our joys and found endless ways to help Young Friends to new heights of living as she gave tirelessly of her wise council and friendly presence.
She was a blessing to us in all her ways and through all her life for she knew with Emerson "that though the world is full of good, no kernel of nourishing corn will come to him (man) but though his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till", and that God asked only that she do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with Him.
No man hath greater love than this-to serve his neighbor, whoever he may be and to worship God with all his heart.
