Deborah ‘Debbie’ White
WILLIAMSBURG Our dearest Deborah “Debbie” White, 63, transitioned to her heavenly home Monday afternoon, March 29, 2021. Her life began Dec. 28, 1957, daughter of the late Eunice M. and Junie White of Williamsburg.
Deborah was educated in Williamsburg-James City County Public Schools and graduated from Lafayette High School. She continued her education and graduated from the University of Colorado in Denver.
Deborah, also known as Debbie by her many family and friends, enjoyed people and held many positions throughout the years. She worked as a dental assistant, nurse’s assistant and took classes to become an emergency room nurse. She practiced real estate and had a great affection for working with children. She owned and operated her very own daycare business and was affectionally called “Aunt Debbie” by the many people she helped and inspired along the way.
Six file for Spartanburg County Council District 6 seat
Five of the hopefuls are Republicans, and one is Democrat.
The seat became vacant last month when Nutt resigned to be sworn into his state legislative seat. Nutt, a Republican, was unopposed in his election to fill the seat of outgoing District 34 Republican state Rep. Mike Forrester.
Filing for Nutt s seat on county council are Republicans Steve Wunder, Michael Dawson, Jessica Coker, Robert Briggs, and Karen Puckett.
Lekesa Kesha Whitner was the lone Democrat to file, and thus will not be on the primary ballot. She will appear on the March 23 special election ballot, according to Spartanburg County Elections Director Henry Laye.
