Marianne Eldriede Louisa White grew up in Kassel, Germany. In 1959, she married American G.I., Allen White. They were only married a couple of years, and divorced in 1962. She never remarried, nor did she have children. After the two separated, she bought an English-German language book, and taught herself English, while living in a one-room boarding house in Jackson, Ms. She started working odd jobs until she attained a good job working for the state. She was able to save enough money to purchase a home in Jackson in 1977, and lived there until 2014. Marianne was forced to retire early because of eye issues and a severe back disability. During 2014, gang members broke into her home and held her captive, causing physical harm to her. That's when Marianne left her home and moved into Jackson Run, a retirement home for low-income people. After she left her home, squatters moved in and eventually burned her home in a major fire. She never got over that. Marianne was passionate about animals, and had dogs most of her life. She would prefer to watch any television show about animals, all kinds. During her last thirteen years, she had a dog named Celine that she got from CARA in Clinton, Ms. She's a Shih-Tsu, and is both beautiful and obedient with a charming personality. The Animal Medical Center in South Jackson is in the midst of finding Celine a new home. Things look very promising. Marianne lived at Jackson Run until she died, February 17th, 2020. She knew of no family in the United States.
