Colleagues admired her signature inverted bob, stating that it was "unmatched".

Whitney's love extended beyond her professional and personal pursuits to encompass her family and furry friends. As the proud wife of Robert Hinds, she devoted 11 years to building a beautiful life together and raising their two children, John and Ryleigh. Her love for her family knew no bounds, and she embraced her role as a mother and aunt with boundless affection. An avid animal lover, Whitney's compassion knew no bounds, welcoming them into her home with open arms. Her kindness and generosity touched the lives of both humans and animals alike, leaving an indelible mark on all who knew her.
