Susie Tweed White, age 85, of Jefferson City, Tennessee, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2025, surrounded by loved ones. A devoted wife, mother, grandmother, and friend, Susie was known for her warmth, quiet strength, and generous spirit. She was a longtime member of First Methodist Church of White Pine, where her faith and love for music were a meaningful part of her life. Susie shared her passion for music with many as a dedicated piano teacher for years, shaping the lives of countless students through her instruction and encouragement. She also brought leadership and a strong work ethic to her role as former manager of Farmland Tractor in Jefferson City, Tennessee. Born to Harry and Irene Tweed, Susie was preceded in death by her father Harry Tweed, her mother Irene, her sister Patty Tweed Johnson, and her brother Garrett “Buster” Tweed. She is survived by her loving husband, John A. White; her children: Stanley Arnold (spouse Donna), Linda Arnold Dietz (spouse Rick Dietz), and Kelly Arnold-Calzadilla (fiancé Jarvis Jennings); and her stepchildren: Kristie White Kelley (Robert Gorman) and Brian White (Ingrid Villapando). Susie was a proud and devoted grandmother to Alec Arnold, Lucas Arnold (Sydney), Cole Arnold, Inge Dietz (Jonathan Brimer), Colby Dietz, Tanner Dietz, Alexi Calzadilla (Ryan Bennett), and Nate Calzadilla (Celia Hostetler); and a cherished great-grandmother to Tate Cantrell, Hudson Cantrell, and Stella Brimer. She also held a special place in her heart for her step-grandchildren: Jessica Kelley Shehan (Alan Shehan and the late Sawyer Shehan), Courtney Kelley, Gracie Marie White, and Dylan White (Cassidy Collins, son Neylan White). In her free time, Susie found joy in playing the piano and saxophone, sewing, and working puzzles. Her talents, patience, and creativity will be remembered by all who knew her.
