Whitney Wells

In her short 10 years, Whitney lived a wonderful life. Her parents provided her and her brother with wonderful experiences and memories. Whitney was full of spunk, love, passion, and enthusiasm. She was also very creative and quite enterprising. She so loved doing things for other people. When she was younger she would give pedicures for money, so she could go shopping. Instead of spending all the money on herself, she made sure to buy her brother some Pokemon cards and candy. Right before she was diagnosed she sold some of her toys, so she could buy her mom a Mother’s Day gift. She also threw and planned countless parties, wedding showers, and baby showers. Whitney planned and purchased her dad’s birthday gifts a month early this year. She passed a couple weeks prior to his birthday. Whitney’s strength and passion for others continued through her entire diagnosis and treatment. During her Make-a-Wish trip to Mall of America, she again thought of others and bought gifts for her family. Her DIPG diagnosis definitely took its toll on her, but she still had her spark. She still had her infectious and beautiful laugh and smile. She showed so much strength through her treatment at St. Jude’s and Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. She fought hard for seven-and-a-half months. In those seven-and-a-half months, she made even more wonderful memories. Her mom and dad found things she could and wanted to do. She still loved going to the mall and Target, and painted canvases. Whitney had a very successful bake sale and art show. Whitney even met Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce, Sammy Watkins, Andy Reid, Salvy Perez, Whit Merrifield, Alex Gordon, George Brett, and Ned Yost. Whitney was a force to be reckoned with.
