Gary Creed White

Gary Creed White, 93, of Columbus, departed this life on Monday, June 15, 2026. He was born on February 27, 1933, in Charleston, West Virginia, the beloved son of the late James E. White and Camella (Field) White. In addition to his parents, he was preceded in death by his sisters, Mitzi Orcutt and Arlene Bollinger; his brother, James Lewis White; his daughter, Laura (White) Price; and his son, Gary Alan White.
