Luz “Anita”
White, 81, passed
on to her new life
with Christ, Sept.
16, 2020, due to
complications from
COVID. Anita was
born in Quebradillas, Puerto Rico, on May
2, 1939.
She was preceded in
death by her parents,
Celestino and Monserrate
Cordero, and her close
Aunt and Uncle, Maria
Delgado (Joe), Isabel
Martinez (Armando);
cousins, Johnny Cordero
(Diana); Joey Rodriguez,
and Joey Gonzalez. Her
husband of 29 years, Gary
White, passed away on
Tuesday, Sept. 22, six
days after Anita’s death.
Anita is survived by
her son, John Jacobs II
(Alicia); daughter, Mary
Jacobs (Lisa); stepchildren, Kim Richey
(Darrick) of Starke, Fla.,
Pam Grimm (Jeff) of
Largo Fla., John White
(Pam), and Amy White;
cousins, Norma Torres
(aka her “sister”), Kristin
Torres (aka her “niece”),
Nilda “Cuchita” Gonzalez (Julio) of Catano,
PR, Jose R. Cordero
(Susan) of Arecibo, P.R.,
“Nedy” Llado of Toa Baja,
P.R., Armando “Cuqui”
Martinez Jr. (Alida) of
Fla., Vilma Kozinski, of
Pensacola Fla.; grandchildren, Vera Barnes (Brady
Rehberg) of Starke Fla.,
Michelle Watson (David)
of Starke Fla., Robby
Grimm (Mitch), Samantha Grimm, Johnny
White, Evan White, Sharaya White, Tehya Ramage, and Wayland Ramage and numerous great
grandchildren.
Anita graduated from
Bay Ridge High School in
Brooklyn New York. Early
in life, while in New York,
she worked for Movies En
Route, Neiman-Marcus,
and Beneﬁcial Finance.
Anita moved to Meigs
County Ohio where she
raised her two children
and worked as a retail
manager for Stifﬂers
Department Store, The
Sundry Store and Barr
Clothiers. One of Anita’s
most rewarding jobs,
however, was serving as a
case worker for Serenity
House domestic violence
shelter, where she had the
opportunity to change
lives, heal souls, and
uplift the many women
with whom she interacted. In 1990, Anita met
Gary through a neighbor
and shortly thereafter
they got married. They

both frequently
said they believed
God had placed
them together.
Anita and Gary
lived on Gary’s
farm in Meigs
County for many
years before moving to
Circleville. They traveled
to Florida often and took
trips to Puerto Rico to
see both their families.
Anita cherished her family, both immediate and
extended, and ensured
she always spent time
with them, especially
her children. Anita was
rooted in faith from the
beginning of her life starting her spiritual journey
at Our Lady of Perpetual
Help parish and school in
New York and last attending Cornerstone Church
in Circleville, Ohio. Anita
was passionate about her
faith and spent her time
encouraging and uplifting
others throughout her
life. Anita did not care
if you were a “believer”
or not because she had
so much faith and, in the
time, anyone spent with
her they were positively
moved and inﬂuenced
by her kindness, compassion, and wisdom.
Anita truly never met a
stranger, seeing instead
an opportunity to demonstrate her humanity.
She was spicy and funny,
enjoying laughter, singing, and dancing and
never turned down a
good party as was always
seen at Christmas family
gatherings. Anita had a
witty sense of humor and
no one was spared of it.
In the last nine years of
her life, Anita survived
breast cancer and battled
Alzheimers Dementia and
still demonstrated such
strength, courage, faith,
and positivity.
Anita loved Christ, her
husband, her children and
her family and she will be
missed here on earth by
all who knew her.
Anita will be celebrated
at Anderson McDaniel
funeral home, 590 E.
Main St. Pomeroy Ohio
45769 with visiting hours
Friday, Oct. 2, 2020, from
5:30-8:30 p.m. and funeral service on Saturday,
Oct. 3, 2020, at 11 a.m.
Anita will be interred
alongside her husband
Gary at Meigs Memory
Gardens.
The family wants to
thank the personnel of
Carriage Court of Hillard
Assisted Living for all
their care, compassion,
and comfort.

Eagles pound

BELPRE, Ohio — These Eagles preferred to
stay on the ground.
The Eastern football team ran for all-417 of its
total yards Friday night in Washington County, as
the Eagles rolled past Tri-Valley Conference Hocking Division host Belpre by a 34-7 tally.
Eastern (3-2, 3-1 TVC Hocking) — winner of
three games in a row — needed just 1:13 to break
the scoreless tie, as Blake Newland found the end
zone on a 62-yard run. Will Oldaker made his ﬁrst
of four point-after kicks to put the guests up 7-0.
The Golden Eagles tied the game at seven
exactly ﬁve minutes later, as Conner Baker scored
on an eight-yard run, and Tyce Church made the
extra-point kick.
Eastern reestablished its lead with a one-yard
touchdown run from Steve Fitzgerald 1:45 into the
second quarter. Newland was in the end zone for
a second time with 3:50 to go in the ﬁrst half, this
time from three yards out.
The guests went into halftime with a 21-7 lead,
and added to it twice in the third quarter. Fitzgerald scored on a four-yard run with 4:54 left in the
period, and then Newland added the ﬁnal points
on a 12-yard run with 51 seconds to go.
In the 34-7 victory, the visiting Eagles enjoyed a
17-to-8 advantage in ﬁrst downs, as well as a 417to-217 edge in total offense. Each team committed
a turnover, and Eastern was penalized nine times
for 55 yards, while BHS had one six-yard penalty.
Newland led the Green and White with 202
yards and three touchdowns on 23 carries. Fitzgerald was next with 112 yards and two scores on 18
totes. Colton Combs had 62 yards on nine carries,
while Oldaker ran three times and gained nine
yards.
For Belpre, Connor Baker was 1-of-4 passing for
57 yards, ran 10 times for 22 yards, and caught a
14-yard pass. Walker Feick — who ran eight times
for a net gain of ﬁve yards — was 3-of-6 passing
for 105 yards.
Cody Daugherty had 58 total yards, combining six carries and a catch for the Golden Eagles,
while Dylan Cox caught two passes for 116 yards.
Next, Eastern is set to host Southern on Friday.

before being hit around the one.
After a brief discussion by the ofﬁciating crew,
a touchdown was signaled and allowed Fairland
to enter the break with a 30-22 advantage.
Brumﬁeld extended the lead back out to double
digits with a 7-yard TD run on the opening drive
of the second half, making it a 37-22 contest.
Gallia Academy started its surge from there
as Briar Williams hauled in a 56-yard pass from
Vanco, with Armstrong adding a 2-point conversion run for a 37-30 deﬁcit.
Armstrong then rumbled 53 yards to paydirt,
but a missed extra-point kick still allowed FHS to
cling to a 37-36 lead.
Gallia Academy claimed a permanent lead
moments later when Armstrong returned a punt
80 yards to the house, giving the hosts a 42-37
edge early in the fourth quarter.
Moments later, a bad snap on a punt attempt
resulted in a safety — pushing the Blue Devils’
advantage out to 44-37. The hosts took the ensuing possession and converted 26-yard Caleb
Geiser ﬁeld goal for their largest lead of the game
at 47-37.
The Dragons managed a late Ward to Hunt
touchdown pass of 21 yards in the waning
moments, but Gallia Academy ultimately held on
for the 4-point triumph.
Both teams committed two turnovers apiece
in the game, but FHS did managed a slight 20-16
edge in ﬁrst downs. Fairland was penalized 11
times for 101 yards, while the hosts were ﬂagged
10 times for 81 yards.
GAHS outgained the guests by a slim 425-401
overall mark in total yards, including a 242-238
edge in rushing yards.
Armstrong led the Blue Devils with 221 rushing yards on 20 carries, followed by Beasy with
44 yards on seven attempts.
Vanco completed 13-of-23 passes for 183 yards,
including two interceptions and two TD passes.
Williams led the wideouts with ﬁve catches for
81 yards.
Brumﬁeld paced the FHS ground attack with
244 yards on 28 carries, with Ward completing
14-of-27 passes for 163 yards. Ward also threw
one interception and four touchdowns. Hunt led
the wideouts with ﬁve catches for 58 yards.
