Elene Ripple White, cherished mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and great-great-grandmother, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2026, at the age of 91.

Born on December 1, 1934, Elene lived a life filled with faith, family, and a spirited love for life’s simple pleasures. Elene had a passion for exploring the world around her. She loved trying new restaurants, indulging in shopping trips, and taking long, peaceful drives to admire the scenery.

Her sharp mind, independent spirit, and love for her family will be deeply missed by all who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her beloved parents, Otto Ripple and Mary (Kubala) Ripple; her grandparents, Anton and Marie Kubala; and her dear aunt, Agnes Parker.

Elene’s legacy lives on through her loving family. She is survived by her daughter, Kathy Nichols; her grandchildren, Sara Smith and her husband Arron, and Brittany Andrews and her husband Matthew; her great-grandchildren, Callie Eubanks and her husband Colton, Logan White and his wife Jaymee, and Arbrie White; and her cherished great-great-grandchild, Oliver White. 

A memorial service celebrating Elene’s life will be held at 3:00 p.m. on Friday, August 28, 2026, at Palms Funeral Home with Daniel Caraballo officiating.
