White House Fruit Farm will be closed Thursday, April 6, so family and friends can honor the life of Phyllis Hull, the matriarch of the family business in Green Township.

According to a post on the business's Facebook page, Hull passed away Thursday, March 30, at age 86.

According to the family, she grew up in Youngstown and graduated from Canfield High School. Early in her career, Hull was a registered nurse at South Side Hospital and nursing homes.

Eventually, the farm became her full-time job, and "poured her heart and soul into our Market and often worked 6-7 days a week," the Facebook post states.

Hull leaves behind her husband, four children and eight grandchildren.
