Jody Glenn White, 65, passed away on Saturday, January 21, 2023 at North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. He was born on January 31, 1957 in Brownville, TN to Lee Bazzle and Virgie Lee Threadgill White, but he grew up in Gattman and attended Greenwood Springs school.

He liked to swim and go fishing, but above all, he cherished the time he spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.
