Whitney Elizabeth Keller Barham, 32 of Hickory passed away on September 19, 2021. There seldom people on this earth that can touch so many lives with nothing more than a smile on their face and love in their heart this was Whitney. Whitney never met a stranger and loved everyone that she met. She was a special woman who loved God with her whole heart and who remained strong in faith. Whitney was our little ray of sunshine and will remain in the hearts of those who knew her. Whitney was born on April 21, 1989 in Catawba County and a member of St. Stephens Lutheran Church.
