Whitney Morgan (Tingle) Temple, age 33, resident of Grand Forks, passed away on May 6, 2024, after her long battle with cancer and other complications. Before she left us, she asked her family to thank some folks.
First, she wanted to thank everyone who supported her benefit on April 13, 2024. Unfortunately, she just ran out of time to personally thank everyone. The community’s kindness meant the world to her, especially the outpouring of well-wishes from her patients.
She says the benefit was a celebration of not just her life, but of everyone who participated from near and afar.
Whitney also wished to thank her friends and colleagues at Altru and Sanford and the medical communities in Grand Forks, Rochester and Minneapolis who came to her aid.
She gave a special thank you to the Community Violence Intervention Center as well as the Grand Forks Police Department. She also asked us to make sure we thanked the team at Altru’s Sunshine Hospitality Home who provided housing for her out-of-area family.
Finally, she asked us to thank UND’s medical school and the Altru Residency Program for preparing her for the great privilege to care for her patients.
Under the circumstances, she likely missed someone. We hope you understand.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Community Violence Intervention Center and Altru’s Sunshine Hospitality Home.
Arrangements are entrusted to Amundson Funeral Home.
