Mary “Ann” (Morris) White, 79, of Brockton, passed away on August 20, 2025. Born in the charming village of Turloughmore, County Galway, Ireland, she was the daughter of the late Maureen (Murray) and William “Riley” Morris. The family always shared fond stories about “Auntie Ann,” who never failed to make time for everyone over a warm cup of tea, her laughter and warmth filling the room with love.
Ann was a beloved figure at Dunkin Donuts on North Main St., Brockton, where she worked for many years, winning the hearts of customers with her kind smile and friendly spirit. She delighted many regular customers daily by having their morning coffee, expertly prepared for them before they had even approached the counter.
She was the devoted wife of the late Neal J. White, with whom she shared 57 beautiful years until his passing in February. Ann was the cherished mother of Annmarie Kampf and her husband Chris of Moosup, CT, Neal J. White Jr. and his wife Julie Crafton of Wellesley, and Christine White of Brockton; a doting grandmother to 9 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren; and a loving sister to Gerard Morris of Manchester, UK, Philomena Kilroy of London, UK, Helen Morris of Turloughmore, County Galway, Ireland, Patrick Morris of Manchester, UK, Geraldine Morris of Brighton, MA, John Morris of Turloughmore, County Galway, Ireland, and the late Kitty McCadden of England. Ann was also a dear aunt to many nieces and nephews.
All are welcome to celebrate Ann's life during calling hours on Thursday, August 28th, from 4-6 p.m. at Waitt Funeral Home, 850 North Main St., Brockton, and at her funeral service on Friday, August 29th at 10 a.m. at Waitt Funeral Home, and burial at Melrose Cemetery, Brockton.
