Wallace Grant Whiten

Mr. Wallace Grant
Whiten, age 81, of Sky Val-
ley, passed away Monday,
Feb. 9, 2026, at Mountain
Lakes Medical Center.
Born June 26, 1944, in
Toccoa, Ga., he was the
son of the late Joe Holmes
Whiten and Leona Carroll
Whiten. He was a graduate
of Toccoa High School and,
in June of 1968, earned a
bachelor of science degree
in pharmacy from the Uni-
versity of Georgia.
Wallace was an active
member of the Georgia
Pharmaceutical Associa-
tion for many years, serv-
ing in various capacities
and receiving multiple
awards for his dedication
to the profession.
He began his career at
Medical Center Pharmacy
in partnership with
Claude and Mot Sorrells.
He later became the owner
and operator of the phar-
macy and of a home medi-
cal equipment company,
which became known as
Convalescent Home
Equipment. After more
than 40 successful years in
business, Wallace retired
to his mountain home and
took on a part-time job at
Ingles of Clayton to main-
tain the wonderful social-
ization skills he enjoyed so
much.
Wallace treasured his
summers at Lake Rabun,
where he spent time with
family and friends,
cruised the water in his
wooden Chris-Craft, and
relaxed by the fire listen-
ing to his favorite country
music. Fall Saturdays
found him in Athens
cheering on his beloved
Georgia Bulldogs. An avid
fan, he cherished time
spent with his tailgating
crew. Known as the life of
the party, Wallace never
missed an opportunity to
share a good story. In his
later years, he especially
enjoyed watching his
granddaughter cheer at
football and basketball
games and competing in
tennis matches.
Survivors include his
daughter, Ashley Whiten
Krivsky (Emmett), and
granddaughter, Emma, of
Clayton; sister, Connie
Whiten Pearson (Tim), of
Seneca, S.C.
In addition to his par-
ents, he was preceded in
death by his brother, Lar-
ry Joe Whiten.
