WHITE, ANNE E. (BILLARD)
Anne E. (Billard) White, 84, of Massachusetts, formerly of Port -aux
Basques, Newfoundland.
Passed away on February 3, 2009 after a brief illness. Anne,
the second of nine children born to the late Victor Llewellyn Billard and Josie
(Jeans) of Channel, NL, started her career in education early. Having skipped
two grades, Anne received her teaching certificate and taught locally in Port-aux-Basques
and the surrounding area for several years. She married the young principal,
Eric S. White. 14 months later; Eric was tragically killed in a car accident.
Although his untimely death was devastating to her, three months later she gave
birth to a daughter, Nancy. Anne never remarried. Anne taught in the Yukon Territories
and eventually attended Boston University where she earned her Bachelor's and
Master's degrees in Education. She became an Assistant Professor in Education
at Memorial University in St. John's and taught there for two years. (1956-57)
Anne moved back to Massachusetts, where she helped pioneer a new remedial reading
program in the Newton School system. She was one of four specialists teaching
in the 26 elementary schools. For over 30 years, Anne taught in Newton and was
a dedicated and compassionate advocate of children. Anne was a strong, independent
woman, who was an avid reader and loved to travel. She should be remembered for
her tremendous faith in God, despite the challenges she encountered. Anne courageously
lived for 7 years with Alzheimer's disease. Her legacy to her family is her faith,
humility and compassion. Her greatest joy was her three grandchildren, twins,
Eric and Rathel, 19, and Travis, 17. Anne leaves her daughter and son-in-law,
Nancy (White) and William F. Lynch of Hampstead, NH; her three grandchildren
and her five remaining siblings: Dorothy Eastman, Virginia Beach, VA; Robert
Billard, Dieppe, NB; Alice Pike, Eastern Passage, NS; Maxwell Billard, Foxtrap,
NL; Laura Tevault, Indianapolis, IN, as well as many nieces, nephews and friends.
Anne was proud of her Newfoundland heritage and will be buried next to her late
husband, Eric. Services will be held on Saturday, June 27 at 10:00 a.m. at St.
