the 82-year-old granddaughter of El Paso pioneer Zach White, died Thursday (Nov. 2, 2000).Zach White built the area's first water and sewer system and was also the founder and builder of the Paso del Norte hotel Downtown, which he opened in 1912. The hotel was a center of El Paso society for decades. At one time Zach White owned most of what is West El Paso, from the Sunland Park area to the country club and Willows areas. Because her parents were often traveling the world, Massey spent a lot of time with her grandfather and often retold many of the stories she heard from him, businessman Jim Paul, a friend of the Massey family, said.Massey "could tell so many stories" about what life was like in early El Paso, Paul said. But Massey was legendary in her own right as well, he said."It was only a year and a half ago that she went over to Paris, rented a car and drove herself through the 'chunnel,' the tunnel under the English Channel. And when she was 79, she bought a red Acura sports car and insisted that they put a spoiler on it for her," Paul said."El Paso has lost one of its real treasures," Paul said. "Everybody who knew her knows that she was absolutely one of the finest women ever to grace this city. I have never been around a woman with as strong a presence as she had. Her nickname was 'Bubbles' because she had an incredible ability to make everyone around her happy, and she was so caring and did so many philanthropic things for the downtrodden that nobody ever knew about."Massey was the wife of William L. Massey, who died in 1991. She is survived by a son and daughter-in- law, William L. and Anne Massey of Houston; a daughter and son-in-law, Mary and Thomas Paul of Austin; and four grandchildren.Charlotte Massey was a past president of the Crockett School PTA, past president of the Junior League of El Paso, and past president of the Coronado Golf Ladies at Coronado Country Club. She was also instrumental in a 20-year needlepoint project at St. Francis on the Hill Episcopal Church.A graveside service will be conducted at 9 a.m. Saturday at Memory Gardens of the Valley cemetery, and a memorial service at 10 a.m. at St. Francis on the Hill Episcopal Church.Memorial contributions may be sent to St. Francis on the Hill Episcopal Church, to be directed to a favorite charity, in lieu of flowers.
