In the days since my daughter's death, I have been collecting a variety of memorials to share with friends and family. It seemed appropriate to gather them in one place.
Whitney is survived by her parents, David Calvin Hendrickson and Clelia Deane deMoraes, her brother Wesley, and her sister Marina, of Colorado Springs; and by her grandparents Carlos and Elizabeth deMoraes of Littleton, Colorado, and Frances Hendrickson and G.D. Spradlin, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. She was very close to, and much beloved by, her aunts, uncles, and cousins: Chuck and Kady Haisley and their children Lauren and Quinn, of Boulder, Colorado; Lisa deMoraes and Jeff Copeland, of Washington, D.C.; Carrie deMoraes, of Colorado Springs; Christy Hendrickson and her children Richard and Russell Houghten, of San Diego, California; and Rusty and Kathy Hendrickson and their children Jeffrey, Will, and Gregory, of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
The family suggests that donations in Whitney's memory be made to the Care & Share Food Bank, 2605 Preamble Point, Colorado Springs, CO 80915.
