"Unconditional love was always there no matter the circumstance, and with us, there were a lot of circumstances."
Ms White was fatally stabbed outside Redbank Plains Shopping Centre earlier in February in a suspected carjacking, sparking a youth crime outcry.
A 16-year-old boy has been charged with her murder.
Ms White had a passion for prayer and likely said one for everyone - no matter who they were - friends told the packed service.
"It didn't matter if you were a neighbour, someone buying a washing machine or just coming to say hello. No one was left out," Ms Micallef said.
Ms Micallef said her mother loved her cat Chloe, doing Donald Duck impersonations and watching funny animal videos.
But most of all, she loved her family.
Ms Micallef said her mother would be remembered for the effect she had on her loved ones, not how she died.
"We don't want mum to be remembered for how she went. We want her to be remembered for the legacy of her life," she said.
Her family vowed to not let go of her memory and to seek justice through the judicial system.
"This is a catalyst for change in our lives and our community," Ms Micallef said.

Ms White's death caused outrage, sparking state legislative change.
Media and victims' families will be given greater access to court cases involving youths under laws proposed by the Queensland government in the wake of the stabbing.
Premier Steven Miles sought changes after the 16-year-old boy charged with murder appeared in a closed court hearing, with a magistrate refusing media access.
The Queensland government also fast-tracked laws to ban knife sales following Ms White's death.
The Ipswich community has also demanded tough youth justice changes named "Vyleen's Law", pushing for harsher sentences and bail conditions to be reviewed for serious repeat youth offenders.
Opposition leader David Crisafulli attended Thursday's service, sharing a quick word with Ms Micallef and her family.
Leader of the African Community Council Beny Bol also paid his respects in a show of unity after reports of racial abuse flaring in the community following the stabbing.
Close family left for a private burial following the service.
