On August 31, 2024, God called Mrs. Brenda Aleshia White Eldridge, one of his precious angel's home. She was born September 3, 1952, to the late Walter and Geneva White.

A native of Winston-Salem, NC, she graduated from the original S.G. Atkins High School with the class of 1971.

After many years of service, she retired from Forsyth Technical Community College. She was a member of Galilee Missionary Baptist Church under the Christian pastoral leadership of Reverend Dr. Nathan Scovens. There she faithfully participated in many of the church ministries and activities.

She was a huge San Francisco 49ers football fan, enjoyed letting anyone who would listen know it, and proudly wore her team paraphernalia as often as she could. She also took pride in eating a bag of skins with a cold Pepsi, coloring in her coloring book with her "good crayons," and spending time with family.

She was preceded in death by her daughter, LeKeya Nichelle Mills; her twin sister, Brenna Aleta (Bernard) Williams; two sisters: Daphney White Smith and Rosa White (Samuel) Lewis; and three brothers: Donald White, Willie Robert, and Walter White.

She leaves to cherish her memories: her husband of 29 years, Edward Eldridge; a daughter LaTrice Renee Carter; a son Derrick Lamont White both of the city; five granddaughters: Aleshia White, Briauna White, Ciera White, Tomya Mills, and Zaria Mills; one grandson, Donald Lamont Carter, Jr.; a brother, James (Fannel) White of Connely Springs, GA; mother-in-law, Hannah Shouse Eldridge; six brothers-in-law: Aaron (Katrina) Conrad, Charles (Katherine) Eldridge Jr., Donald (Arealer) Eldridge, Raymond (Angela) Eldridge, Rev. Reginald (Marlene) Eldridge, and Marcus (Ann) Eldridge; three sisters-in-law: Marilynne (Randolph) Singletary, Beverly Eldridge, and Marcelette Eldridge; five great grandchildren, and a host of nieces, nephews, cousins, other relatives, and lifelong friends.
