Celebrating the life of
Barbara Saseen White
August 26, 1927 - February 22, 2025
Barbara Saseen White, 97, passed away peacefully at her home on February 22, 2025, surrounded by her loving family.
Born the twelfth child of Isaac and Freda Saseen, Barbara was a lifelong resident of Savannah, Georgia. She was a proud 1945 graduate of St. Vincent’s Academy and continued her education at Armstrong Junior College. A woman of deep faith, she was a devoted member of St. James the Lesser Catholic Church.
Barbara was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 53 years, Edward F. White.
She is survived by her children, Karen Reardon (Tony), Michelle O’Haren (Tim), Andrea White, and Robert White; as well as her brother, Joseph Saseen. She was a loving grandmother to Andrew Morgan and Thomas O’Haren; and she leaves behind many cherished grandchildren, nieces, and nephews.
The family would like to express their heartfelt gratitude to her devoted caregivers, Regina Trosper, Christine Nolan, and Sue Rose, for their compassionate care and support.
A graveside service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 26, 2025 in Greenwich Cemetery, followed by a reception at the Savannah Golf Club.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Hospice Savannah in Barbara’s memory.

What a lovely lady Mrs. White was! She always had a smile to share as well as a hug. Our hearts ache for the loss her family is experiencing but we are hoping the lovely memories she left for them will help ease their hearts. RIP

There are not enough words to describe this little lady. She was my mother’s dearest friend. She was there to help us laugh when my father died and she sat with my mother every day for over a year when she was bed ridden and dying. Have always loved this family—all of them!! There is one heck of a party going on now!! Laura

Ditto to my sister Laura. This was one of the funniest people known to all. She was always there for our family in good and bad. As a child I remember the group trying to teach Barbara how to play cards. She laughed and cracked jokes so much that nobody could play. They are certainly having a huge party with Mr. Ed, Vic & Vergie and many, many others. Love to each and every one of you! Vicki

I first met Barbara in 1982 when we both worked for Bo Ginn in Atlanta when he was running for governor. She lived there with her family and I was attending Ga State. Getting to know her was like being in Savannah while working on Peachtree Street in Buckhead. I also remember a verse from Patty Cullum, of Blessed Memory, that she and Barbara laughed over, it involved "Dean Dean the Butter Bean". Barbara was one live wire. She was a pleasure to know. My sincerest condolences to the family.
