Lauren Justine White, 28, of Conway, AR, passed away February 7, 2016. She was born May 24, 1987. She is survived by her husband of 7 years, Kirtley White, her parents, Michael and Laura Garcia of Perryville, two sisters, Hannah (Jesse) Richardson of Beebe, Mariah Garcia of Perryville, brother Jeremy Garcia, and so many loving and supportive family members and friends.
She was preceded in death by her maternal grandmother Nadine Daniels, paternal great grandparents, Ish and Monell Norman, uncle Robert Pruitt, and cousin Jeanette Daniel.
She loved her job as a stylist at Shear Envy salon in Conway. She was loved by her co-workers and clients. Spending time with her husband, taking their dogs to the lake and going to concerts, and movies with friends were some of her favorite things. Her most special memories are the ones spent with family and closest friends.
We owe a special gratitude to many of the doctors, nurses, and techs at UAMS. A very special thank you to Dr. Johnson, Dr. Meena, nurse Alisa, and respiratory therapist Scott.
Lauren was beautiful inside and out. She brought so much love and laughter to her family. We will miss her more than words can say.

It breaks my heart for you and your family. Praying that God brings you comfort, peace and understanding during this time of grief and sorrow. Lauren was a beautiful and precious person.

Ron & Sarah Morris
We did not know your loved one Lauren, but we have borne the grief of losing a son and we can encourage you that as time passes you will be able to remember more of the good times with Lauren and dwell less on your loss.
We found that each person grieves in a different way and at different times, so we encourage you and your family to allow for those differences.
We are of the Christian faith and even in our pain we came to understand that God is still sovereign. May you find comfort as you walk through this valley of the shadow of death and may friends share their good memories of Lauren with you.

Lauren's bright eyes, beautiful smile, and vibrant personality made an impression on everyone she interacted with. What a privilege it was to provide genuine nursing and patient care to Lauren over the last several months. Our E7 family will be thinking of you all in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day.
Unseen, unheard, but always near.
Still loved, still missed, and very dear.
Death leaves a heartache no one can heal.
Love leaves a memory no one can steal.

Lauren and I didn't speak much after high school because we simply lost touch, but in High School, she was one of the few whom I really admired and looked up to, the kind of person I wanted to be. She was always kind and she will always remain in my heart as one of my dearest high school friends. Sending up prayers for Kirtley and all of her family as well. She will be greatly missed.
