Theresa White 1959-2024

Theresa Kay Lovejoy was born Dec. 23, 1959, in Clarkston, Washington, to William N. “Bill” Lovejoy and Carleen R. (Ham) Eaton. She was raised in Lewiston, Idaho, and graduated from Lewiston High School in 1978. That summer, she moved to Ohio and briefly married Raymond M. White (deceased) in Youngstown. She never remarried after their divorce.

Theresa attended classes at Youngstown State University and ITT Institute of Technology. She always strived to improve herself and learn as much as possible about everything, especially the latest technology. She was a self-proclaimed “closet geek” and enjoyed reading, being with family, taking road trips, traveling and taking her dog Missy to various dog parks.

Theresa worked as an accounts payable supervisor for Hills Department Store in Boardman, as a billing clerk / scale master at the former Ipsco Steel and as an administrative assistant for Sedona Staffing assigned to Con-way Freight in the Quad Cities.

“T,” as her friends called her, was employed by Halligan-McCabe-DeVries as an administrative assistant / billing clerk (her dream job) until her passing. She loved going to work every day at “The Home.” Thanks to her bosses and co-workers, it was a true pleasure in her life. She felt truly blessed to be there. An exceptional thank you goes to Dan, Bob and the rest of the staff.

Survivors include her daughter, Kindy Ague of Moline, Illinois; sister, Shelly (Kelly) Bentley of Ocean Park, Washington; brother, Hoss Eaton; sister, Amy (Rod) Farrington; and stepmother, Carol Lovejoy, all of Lewiston, Idaho; stepbrother, Don McKay of Fort Bragg, North Carolina; many nieces and nephews; and her best friend since high school, Tina McLean of Lewiston, Idaho.

Theresa was preceded in death by her father, Bill; mother and stepfather, Carleen and Arthur “Wad” Eaton Jr.; grandparents, Day (Price) and Glen Hattan and Verla (Schadt), and Melvin Ham.

According to Theresa’s wishes, cremation will occur prior to the service and visitation.

A celebration of life will be held 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 16, 2024, at Halligan-McCabe-DeVries Funeral Home, Davenport. Visitation will be one hour before the service at the funeral home.

Anything purple, Theresa’s favorite color, would be appreciated.

Memorials may be made to her daughter, Kindy Ague.
