Dr. Edward C. Whittington

September 29, 1946 — August 31, 2024

Hoover, Alabama

Dr. Edward C. Whittington of Hoover, AL passed away peacefully at home on August 31, 2024 surrounded by his beloved wife, Judy, and his family. Dr. Whittington, known to most as Ed, was born in Greenville, AL on September 29, 1946. He is preceded in death by his parents, John K. and Sara K. Whittington, and his older brother, John Phillip Whittington.

Dr. Whittington graduated from Robert E. Lee High School in Montgomery, AL and attended college at The University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa. He then pursued his medical career, graduating in 1974 from The University of Alabama Medical School in Birmingham, AL. After a two-year internship, he joined a family practice group in Jasper, AL. Following a brief stent there, he returned to Birmingham, AL where he completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Carraway Methodist Medical Center. In 1980, he returned to Jasper, AL where he began practice as a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist associated with Walker Regional Medical Center. In 1991, after 11 wonderful years in Jasper, AL, he accepted a teaching position in the residency program at Arnold Palmer Hospital for Women and Children in Orlando, FL. While he enjoyed his time there, he missed private practice and joined Altawood Gynecological Associates in Orlando, where he practiced until retirement. In 2000, he and his family returned home to Birmingham, AL.

Dr. Whittington loved watching Alabama football and spending time grilling out with family and friends. He loved the Lord and was a friend to many.
