Whitney L. Hulce CHESAPEAKE - Whitney Lynne Hulce, 25, passed away unexpectedly April 18, 2010. Unfortunately, her life was cut short as she was in the prime of her life. Whitney was a 2002 graduate of Great Bridge High School, attended Old Dominion University for three years, where she earned a full academic scholarship and later graduated from Western Governor's University, Utah. She was a first-year teacher at Tanner's Creek Elementary School in Norfolk where she taught second grade.

She was a member of Alpha Phi, Epsilon Eta and was the vice president of the Children's Hospital of The King's Daughters circle, "Circle in the Bridge."
