Whitney Merewether Obituary
Whitney Lynne Merewether, 54, of Lewisburg, WV died Monday, April 25, 2022 in Morgantown, WV surrounded by her loving family and a few very close friends.
She was born January 8, 1968 in Providence, RI, a daughter of Patrick Merewether, Sr. and his wife Margaret Steinbock of Culpupper, VA, and Carol Merewether of Warrenton, VA.
In addition to her parents, Whitney is survived by her brother Patrick Merewether, Jr. (partner Lynn Shaner) of Charleston SC; her sister Courtney Mills (husband Rodney) of Culpeper VA; nephews and nieces Joshua Merewether, Ryan Merewether, Hannah Merewether, and Briana Shaner; stepsisters and stepbrother Colin Smith (spouse Alison Smith), Rebecca Rex (spouse Tammy Rex), Jennifer Metz (spouse Timothy Metz); many cousins and friends; and her beloved cats Rumpleteazer (Rummy) and Kali.
Whitney graduated with a Bachelor's degree from the University of Virginia in 1990. Whitney had 20 years of service at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, WV as the Administrative Assistant in the Registrar's Office.
Whitney will be remembered for knowing how to bring people together. She gave the best hugs and had a contagious smile. She was full of life, loved to laugh and had a quick, witty sense of humor. She loved nature - hiking, waterfalls, flora and fauna, and the great gingko tree in Lewisburg.
"Every blade in the field, every leaf in the forest, lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up." - Henry David Thoreau
