Billy B. White

Billy B. White, age 86, Andalusia, quietly passed away April 12, 2017. He was born Sept. 15, 1930, in New Brockton, Ala. His father, Willie Asbury White, mother, Mirtie Rainey White, and seven siblings preceded him in death.

Billy married Marie Boothe on June 14, 1951. After living in Opp for a year, Billy and Marie traveled throughout Southern states as he worked selling furniture. In 1956, they moved to Mobile and then to Atmore before settling in Andalusia in December 1963 where he purchased the Barber’s Milk distributorship. He continued to be involved in the business until the last week of his life.

Billy was a voracious reader, especially enjoying Zane Grey westerns and encyclopedias. He had a green thumb and took pride in the flowers he grew. Billy was perhaps happiest when he was selling or trading. In recent years, he was a gracious companion to Marie, as their health declined.

Billy was a Christian and lifelong member of the Assemblies of God, faithfully working with his wife in a variety of ministries.
