Whitney Elizabeth Ellis, born March 11, 1988 in Dallas, Texas to William and Patty Ellis, was promoted to Heaven on August 28, 2021 in Fort Worth, Texas. She was preceded in death by her father William Ellis, her mother, Patty Ellis; and her two brothers Wilson and Willy Ellis, and family-by-choice Carolyn Green. She is survived by best friend, Audrye Glosson, fiancé Justin Whittington and his son Wesley, and family-by-choice Mike Green; Ed, Janna, Marshall, and Molly DeWees; Paulino, Elizabeth, Alexis, Alexandra and Alexabeth Gomez; and her beloved dog Henry.

Whitney spent her life serving the Lord and sharing the love of Christ.
She earned a Bachelors in Education from the University of North Texas and a Master's in Biblical Counseling from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Education was priority for Whitney and teaching others gave her great joy. She worked as a 3rd grade teacher at Lake Country Christian School before earning a degree from Tarrant County College in American Sign Language where she found her calling as an interpreter for the hearing impaired. Whitney was passionate about serving the deaf community, seeing those far from Christ come to know him, and loving those around her with a full heart. She was a rare gem who will be dearly missed by those she leaves behind.


In lieu of flowers please consider giving to the Deaf Bible Society in Whitney's name.
