White

Christine Marie White, 60, passed away on August 10, 2025 in Hollister, CA, after a courageous battle with cancer. She leaves behind a community she helped shape and a legacy built on faith, education, compassion, and service. Christine was a beloved mother, daughter, sister, mentor, and community champion. Born in September 1964, in Redwood City, CA, Christine grew up in the foothills of Northern California. She attended CSU, Chico and became the first in her family to earn a college degree, becoming a powerful advocate for education. After earning advanced degrees in education and Spanish language, Christine dedicated 36 years to serving the Hollister School District, eventually becoming a Vice Principal, Principal and Administrator, as well as being instrumental in developing the Accelerated Achievement Academy at Calaveras School. She mentored countless students and faculty and inspired generations to strive for their best. Her calm presence, firm but kind leadership, and genuine interest in every child's future made her a beloved figure in the community. She spent her summer months dedicated to her beloved children and family, camping, reading, and spending time at the coast with those who meant the most to her. Christine married Donald White in 1995. After his passing she raised their two amazing children, Katherine and James, with the support of her beloved community. She is survived by: her adult children Katherine White, James and his wife Alyssa White, parents Martin and Ginger Miner, her brother Daniel and wife Shawna Miner, sister Stephanie and husband Amjad Rasheed, nephew Jacob Miner and nieces Sarah, Mia, and Margret Rasheed, as well as step-daughter Trista White and countless students and colleagues whose lives she touched with her wisdom and generosity. Christine shared her Christian faith deeply as an active member of South Valley Community Church. She served in many capacities within her Church, including
leadership of children's ministry, singing in the choir, attending bible studies and assisting with leadership when called upon to do so. Additionally she served as Board President of the Hollister Pregnancy Center for many years. At the end of her cancer battle, she continued to share her faith in Jesus and encouragement through the communities of Stanford Cancer Center and Hazel Hawkins Memorial Hospital. Her deep faith and uplifting spirit impacted many. Christine lived a life of faith, service, loyalty, and love. Her family was her greatest joy,
and her legacy will live on in the lives she nurtured and touched. We gathered to celebrate the beautiful life of our beloved mom, Christine Marie White, on September 28 th , 2025 at Christ Fellowship Church in Hollister, CA. If you missed the service, please view the below video.
