She was a CNA at NHC of Smithville and formally worked at Ascension St. Thomas Rutherford.  The first year Whitny was a CNA, she was voted CNA of the year, an accomplishment she was very proud of but she was most proud of the way she could love and care for her patients.

Whitny made sure others were always happy, enjoyed making people laugh, driving her car and traveling.  If you knew Whitny, you would find her always looking to the sky to admire it’s beauty.  She was an old soul in a young body.
