Shani-Jinaki Whipple
Earl and Elena Whipple established the Shani-Jinaki Whipple Endowed Scholarship for the Physically Challenged in memory of their
daughter who overcame many obstacles to achieve personal and academic excellence in every aspect of her life. Shani-Jinaki lived her life with grace, kindness, and warmth that was offered to all who knew her. She presented her immediate and extended family with many lessons in strength, courage, and selfless determination throughout her God-centered life. She is lovingly remembered by all who were influenced by her passion for learning, her drive to explore and creative mind. Shani-Jinaki will always be in the minds and hearts of her family and friends. She is missed terribly, but her loved ones take comfort in the knowledge that she is in God’s loving arms. Her legacy lives on in her family and with the Shani-Jinaki Whipple Endowed Scholarship for the Physically Challenged at CSM.
