MIDDLEBURY — Cheryl White, the longtime owner and publisher of The Valley Voice newspaper in Middlebury, died of natural causes at her Bridport home this past Thursday evening, May 3.
White was well known in her hometown as well as throughout the broader community, with many friends and close associates built through her decades in journalism. She bought The Valley Voice more than three decades ago.
In 2013 the Vermont House adopted a resolution honoring White and The Valley Voice for outstanding community service. It specifically cited White’s contribution for producing “inspiring and uplifting stories about local people, projects and traditions found in small-town Vermont.”
White, who lived in Bridport most of her life, celebrated her 68th birthday this past April 8. She leaves behind husband Dale Logan, daughters Ann White of Boston and Tammy White of Texas,  and granddaughters Courtney and Francesca.

Services will be held on Tuesday, May 8, with Remembrance visitation at 10 a.m. and Celebration of Life from 11 a.m.-12 noon at Sanderson-Ducharme Funeral Home, 117 South Main St., Middlebury.
The family asks that, in celebration of Cheryl, visitors wear their favorite colors instead of black to the service.
In lieu of flowers, contributions for college scholarship funds for granddaughters Courtney White and Francesca Napiltonia be mailed to: Scholarship Fund, c/o Bonnie Gridley, 101 Court St., Middlebury, VT 05753.
