Born on November 2, 1942, in Houston County, Alabama, Monty was a beacon of light and love to her family, friends, and community. Her final days were spent in Midland City, Alabama, surrounded by the love and care of her cherished family.

Monty's early years were spent in the warm embrace of her parents, Jack and Vera Myrtle White, both of whom preceded her in death, along with her beloved sister Judy White and brother Sidney White.
