Patricia Ann White

Patricia Ann White, age 73, of Celina, Ohio, passed away peacefully on December 20, 2025, at Joint Township District Memorial Hospital in St. Marys, surrounded by her loving family. She was born on December 5, 1952, in Coldwater, Ohio, to the late Richard and Lucille (Pleiman) Fleck.

On May 9, 1981, Patricia married Dean A. “Scooter” White, and together they shared many wonderful years of marriage before his passing on March 12, 2018.

Patricia is survived by her two children, Kristen (Seth) Kerns of Celina and Kyle (Julia) White of Columbus; her cherished grandsons, Ian and Logan Kerns; and her siblings, Bonnie (Terry, deceased) Muhlenkamp of Fort Recovery, Jerry (Nancy) Fleck of Coldwater, and Sandy (Doug) LeConey of Tipp City. She will also be fondly remembered by many extended family members and dear friends.

Pat was a 1971 graduate of Immaculate Conception Catholic High School in Celina. She and Scooter were the proud owners and operators of Welch’s Restaurant in Celina for several years. Pat later retired from CJ High Marks in Celina, where she served as a manager for 15 years.

A lifelong member of Immaculate Conception Catholic Church and the Celina Boosters Club, Pat had a deep love for sports. She was an avid supporter of the Celina Bulldogs, Duke Basketball, and the Cleveland Browns. Known for her outgoing personality, Pat truly loved people—often the first to arrive and the last to leave. She enjoyed baking, socializing, and, most of all, spending time with her family, who were the center of her life.

A gathering of family and friends will be held from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, December 28, 2025, at Cisco Funeral Home in Celina.

A Memorial Mass of Christian Burial will begin at 10:30 a.m. on Monday, December 29, 2025, at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Celina, with Fr. Rob Muhlenkamp officiating.
