Whitney graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Virginia in 1990. Whitney had 20 years of service at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, WV as the Administrative Assistant in the Registrar's Office.
Whitney will be remembered for knowing how to bring people together. She gave the best hugs and had a contagious smile. She was full of life, loved to laugh and had a quick, witty sense of humor. She loved nature - hiking, waterfalls, flora and fauna, and the great gingko tree in Lewisburg.
