October 7, 1952 - February 3, 2025
Carrell ''Lynn'' White, born on October 7, 1952, was sent to his eternal home on February 3, 2025 at age 72. He was born in Conway, Arkansas to Carrell Emerson White and Eleanor Corrine White. He was a proud resident of Vilonia, Arkansas and graduated from Vilonia High School in 1970. Carrell married Nancy Claudette Stanton on July 30, 1971. He and Nancy had three children: sons, Brian White, Bradley White and Jay White. He was a son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, uncle and friend. Lynn is preceded in death by parents, Carrell Emerson White and Eleanor Corrine White; sister, Cathryn Gayle Carper and brother, William Carrell White. Lynn is survived and missed by his loving wife, Nancy; three sons, Brian, Bradley and Jay; daughter in law, Paige; two granddaughters, Hannah and Jocelin; many nieces, great nieces, great great nieces, nephews, great nephews, cousins and countless friends. He taught Agriculture for 28 years at Cabot High School and was a Hunters Safety Educator for many years. He was a proud member of the National FFA Organization. Lynn received his master's degree in education in 1986. Some of his life achievements include receiving his Honorary Doctorate Degree from the State Chapter of the FFA, receiving Outstanding Teacher of the Year and Program awards, Vilonia FFA Farm Family of the year, he served 1978-2004 as an FFA Advisor and received the FFA Blue and Gold award for the Cabot AR Chapter. He was an avid outdoorsman, enjoyed hunting, fishing, golfing and spending time on the family farm. He loved spending time with family and friends. We sadly say goodbye to Carrell, a man who dedicated his life to making a difference. He was a beacon of knowledge and inspiration who touched the lives of countless students and co-workers. His passion for Agriculture was infectious and he offered support and encouragement, even beyond the classroom. His legacy lives on in the minds of those he taught and his memory will continue to inspire future generations. His family and teaching were his two biggest passions. Lynn had the ability to bring a smile to everyone he met. He would offer a helping hand or listening ear to anyone in need and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

Mr. White was my Agri. teacher in England. On a few occasions he would bring out the board of education to remind me of how things are done. He was a great friend to myself and my parents.
My prayers for the family.

You were a wonderful Agri. teacher, and will be sorely missed. My fondest memory of you was having our class recite the FFA creed. It was a daunting task, but was easily achieved with your guidance! May you rest in the eternal peace of Heaven. Fly high, sir.

Prayers for the family of Lynn. He was an outstanding vocational agriculture teacher. He always was interested in his students to be successful. Memories linger about Lynn and our many discussions and laughs over the years. May the LORD bless each family member and know that Lynn is now in his heavenly home singing with the angels. Probably playing a little ping pong.
