Marjorie Keckeissen White
Marjorie White, 90, of Raleigh, NC, passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family on June 1, 2026. Marjorie lived her early youth in the St. Brendan’s parish of Bronx, NY, where her father, Dr Francis Keckeissen, restarted his surgical practice, after having volunteered as a surgeon in the Army Air Corps during WWII. Her mother, Beatrice Keckeissen, was a long-time elementary teacher with NYC schools. The family later moved to Yonkers, NY, where Marjorie attended Marymount College in Tarrytown, earning a bachelor’s degree in French and Biology.
Marjorie dedicated her life to raising her eight children and worked several years as an administrative assistant at the Somers Intermediate School before retiring to Raleigh, NC, in 1998 with her husband of 54 years, Grosvenor White, Jr. (d. Dec 10, 2012).
Marjorie is survived by her loving family, which includes eight children and their spouses; Donna White Quirk and Bill, Nancy White Goudey, Robert White, Jane White Gibbons and Chris, Richard White and Karla, Steven White and Janine, Linda White Schwarz and Derek, and Jennifer White Schudlik and Fritz; and 27 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Marjorie was pre-deceased by her sister Susan Sugrue and is survived by her sister Linda Kroha.
Marjorie was a longtime member of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church, and in her later years attended Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church alongside her children.
A funeral mass celebrating Marjorie’s life will take place Wednesday, June 10th at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, 2718 Overbrook Dr, Raleigh, NC 27608 at 1:00pm. There will be a remembrance gathering following the mass at Fallon Center next to the church.

My heartfelt condolences to the White family, her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. God bless her soul, and may she rest in the loving presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Marjorie was a very special lady. It was truly an honor and privilege to meet her. I will always cherish the opportunity to have known her. She was deeply loved, which was evident in the devotion, care, and affection shown by her family. The love her children poured into caring for her was a beautiful testament to the wonderful life she lived and the impact she had on those around her. She will be greatly missed, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. With deepest sympathy, Jacqueline
