Whitney Leigh Gregg

Whitney was born March 18, 1993, in Iron Mountain, daughter of Shannon (Terry) Steber of Florence, and Robin Gregg of Aurora, Wis. She grew up in Florence and graduated from Florence High School, Class of 2011. Whitney attended the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and Wallace State University in Alabama, where she received a bachelor’s degree in Diagnostic Imaging. While at Wallace State, Whitney was awarded the Alumni Excellence Award which was given to only one student per year. She interned in the Radiology Department at the Huntsville Hospital in Huntsville, Ala. Whitney started out volunteering for the Peace Corps, and most recently she was employed as a traveling X-Ray Technologist for L.R.S. Traveling Company, which brought her all over the country where she made many wonderful friends who became family. While working, she earned her nutrition and fitness degree and enjoyed spending time at the gym working out.

Whitney was the family “ring leader” who kept everyone connected. She enjoyed: photography, extreme hiking and camping. She was passionate about her work and strived to do her very best. Her faith in God came first, and her family was her life.
