Lindsey Renee Whitney Obituary (1984 - 2018)

On August 24, 2018, Lindsey Renee Whitney, age 34, went to be with her Lord after a difficult battle with breast cancer. Lindsey was surrounded by family members and friends that deeply and dearly loved her at the time of her death. First and foremost, Lindsey was a faithful and committed child of God. Lindsey spent her life teaching children and adults to know Jesus in a real, personal way. Lindsey worked for East Lake Road Alliance Church where she ran (with the help of an amazing team) a beloved children's ministry program. As a result of her passion, enthusiasm and humor, Lindsey led those around her to a deeper commitment to their faith and their family. Lindsey was a tremendous mother. She taught her children to love, laugh, live with joy and know their Savior. No matter how tired, how drained or how much pain she was feeling, Lindsey strived to give her children her full energy, attention and love. Lindsey meant the world to her husband. He knew from the moment he saw her in the 7th grade that they would be married. There are no words that can express the love that these two shared. Lindsey and her husband were truly partners in life and remained madly in love with each other. Lindsey was also a published author, blogger, speaker and successful entrepreneur. She was never satisfied with good enough and strived to be about the work of the Lord. Lindsey is survived by her beloved husband, Mike; her three children: Abigail, Malachi and Elizabeth; her parents, John and Barbara Baker; her brothers, Ben Baker (Jacqueline) and Dan McAfoose (Valerie); her sisters, Tammy Benedict (Timothy) and Deanna Lent (Tom); her paternal grandmother, Martha Baker and many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and family. Lindsey was preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Paul Baker and her maternal grandparents, Rev. Gale and Eileen Jewell.
