Spirit Lake community mourns loss of Danica “Tynee” White
Family asks for donations to assist with funeral expenses
The multijurisdictional search for Danice “Tynee” White, a Spirit Lake citizen, has come to a close after her remains were recovered during a water search Nov. 6. Vicki Alberts, public information officer for the tribe, told Buffalo’s Fire no foul play is suspected. Alberts said more details will be released at a later time to allow family members time to process this tragedy. Chairwoman Lonna Jackson-Street commented on the heartbreaking discovery in a press release: “Our hearts are heavy with this news. Danica was a vibrant young woman with her whole life ahead of her. We ask everyone to keep her family in your thoughts and prayers and to respect their privacy as they grieve.” A fund has been set up to assist the family with funeral expenses. Donations can be made at Gate City Bank in Devils Lake, North Dakota, under the account title “Benefit of Danica Tynee White.” Contributions are accepted in person or through the mail.
