Jamie S. Hanes-White

September 9, 1976 - May 3, 2019

On Friday, May 3rd, 2019 Jamie White Hanes, loving mother, daughter, sister, and partner unexpectedly passed away of a heart attack at the age of 42 in Norman, OK. Jamie White Hanes was born on September 9th, 1976 in Houston, TX to Donald and Karen Thompson White. Jamie adopted her son, Thomas Fairchild, in 2003 when he was just three years old and they had an inseparable bond. Jamie met her romantic partner, Gary Friedlander, in 2017 and they were beginning to plan their life together, including marriage and buying a home together, when she was tragically taken from us. Jamie had a passion for her family and friends and loved anything family related. On a nice day, you could catch Jamie riding motorcycles with Gary. They loved taking meandering trips and finding new places to visit. Jamie was very creative: she was an accomplished sketch artist as well as an avid crocheter, who made many blankets as well as hats and gloves for her friends and family. In addition, she was a voracious reader and especially enjoyed historical romance books which led to a fascination of the medieval past, Scotland, and castles. Jamie had a deep appreciation for music with a wide variety of songs and artists she liked listening to from country to 80’s pop music. It wouldn’t be uncommon to see her with earbuds in her ears. Just before she died, she also had a DNA test done and learned a lot of her ancestry and was enjoying researching her genealogy. This opened up many new family members to her who she hadn’t known and enjoyed talking with. However, her favorite hobby of all was spending time with her son, Thomas. Jamie was preceded in death by her father, Donald White. She is survived by her sweetheart Gary Friedlander; son, Thomas Fairchild; mother, Karen Thompson White; stepmother, Lettie Blanchard White; sister, Shelly White; brother, Michael White; his wife, Jodie White and their children, Lindsee and Tyler; her aunt, Dianna Brocken and her husband, Bill Brocken; her uncle, Kenneth Thompson and his wife, Linda Thompson.
