White, 56, has been laid to rest as friends and family gathered in hopes of 'closure' if not comprehension, after a torrid two weeks that began when she sprang her convict lover from jail and ended when she put a bullet in her head Monday, DailyMail.com reported.
Almost 200 mourners gathered under the sweltering Alabama sun as they were encouraged to set aside the 'pain and trauma' of recent days and focus instead on the version of Vicky they believed they knew – 'real loved,' 'loyal' and 'a person who impacted on people's lives.'

FIFTH VICTIM FOUND AND IDENTIFIED IN KEY BRIDGE COLLAPSE
Vicky and White's 11-day stretch on the loose came to a dramatic and tragic fate just 270 miles north of their starting point in Evansdale, Indiana. Law enforcement was alerted to their presence in the Indiana town when the owner of a local carwash glimpsed White on surveillance footage.
Meanwhile, a keen-eyed Vanderburgh County patrol officer ran the plates on a vehicle parked outside Motel 41 on the edges of the town, and, ironically almost directly opposite Vanderburgh County Sheriff Department.
The grey Cadillac came up as stolen and officers staked out the motel, lying in wait and giving chase when the couple emerged from room 151 – a room they had paid a local man to book for them, paying in cash for a 14 day stay they were destined to never see to term.
A high-speed chase ended when law enforcement rammed the couple's car from the road and into a ditch.

White surrendered, declaring that his plan to have a shoot-out was only foiled because the vehicle flipped making it impossible for him to reach his gun.
Vicky shot herself and died in hospital soon after.
Her last words to White, caught on 911 audio were to scold him, 'You had to stay in some f****** motel.'
