Henrietta Whitney

To the family of Henrietta Whitney,
I had the privilege of going to Apalachin Elementary School when Henrietta was teaching. My sister had her as a teacher and she was best of friends with one of my teacher's Catherine McHugh. She always had a smile on her face and an encouraging word. In later yrs, when I joined Apalachin UMC, she and I sang in the choir together and I got to enjoy some of her delicious baked goods. She made the best chocolate frosting ever!!! She sang and played the...

To the family of Mrs. Whitney, my heartfelt sympathy.

Mrs. Whitney was also my 3rd grade teacher, I occasionally ran into her in Apalachin. When I told her who I was, she remembered me! She is definitely the kind of individual we should all strive to be. I will never forget her homemade apple muffins she brought to school for my class, they were delicious, and we all looked forward to them. She will be sadly missed.

I have wonderful memories of Mrs Whitney! She was my 3rd grade teacher and a long-time friend of the family. With a consistently positive attitude we could count on her for smile and laugh. She and her sister-in-law, Mrs Fox, used to bring us home-make cookies at Christmas every year. Her tireless service to others was an amazing example to all who met her.

My deepest sympathy to the family.

I have known Mrs. Whitney my entire life. I was very fortunate to have grown up with her thru church and was blessed to have her as my third grade teacher. I am 48 years old now and it is truly amazing to reflect on what she has done for me my entire life. Little lessons learned at a young age and carried on thru the years and instilled in my own children. I would run into her on rare occasions and would always stop to talk. I will miss the way she would hold on to you while we were talking,...

We knew this fine lady from many encounters over the years... She would call and ask if we wanted to join the Seniors group and or donate to the United Way and of course we did and would... she would laugh when i would say hi and call her by her name as she wondered how i would know it was her... Now how would you not know that wonderful happy voice??? May she rest in peace and join the rest of the angels up there... now she and my mom, Avis Guiles can join the rest of them .... may you find...

Henrietta will be so missed.Walking in the P&C in Owego she always looked around and we would get a cheery greeting.Then when leaving I often got a hug.She was such a special person and may she rest in peace.

Two years ago I moved away from Apalachin, but I still remember looking around for my friend, Henrietta at the United Methodist Church and at the Sr.Citizens once a month. Apalachin has lost a very valuable lady, one who was always there to help, greet, and play the piano with Paul Newell. Henrietta knew everyone and everyone knew her!
What a loss! My greatest sympathy to the Whitney family.

Mrs. Whitney was my third grade teacher. She made sure I passed so I could stay with my class, by coming to the hospital everyday to give me assignments and care boxes. She was a great example. All her good deeds will surely be missed. I'm certain she's already volunteering in heaven.

To the family of Henrietta Whitney: I am a member of the Gradel family, neighbors of the Bailey's where Mrs. Whitney lived. She was a wonderful lady, piano player and mother to Robert. She attended the Gaskill Corners school reunion at the Rudin Days and I have a picture of her with the classes. Please accept our sympathy.
