Ms. Whitesell had a strong belief in God and was a member of the Highway Tabernacle Church. The word that best describes Amy is giving. She gave of herself to help others, from her career path as an LPN to being a foster parent up until the time she became ill. She saw the good in everyone. Amy also had a special place in her heart for animals, especially horses, dogs, and cats. Amy was always happy and trying to bring joy to those around her, she will be deeply missed by her family.
