Courtney Marie Whited (Segraves) of Cedar Park, TX, passed away peacefully at home on June 21, 2022, surrounded by family and friends. She was 43 years of age.
Courtney was born on January 18, 1979, in Tucson, AZ, to Johnny Segraves and Cynthia Chappell. As a child, she lived in Florence, AL, where she attended and graduated from Wilson High School class of 1997.
Courtney earned her Bachelor of Social work at the University of North Alabama, graduating in 2004. After graduation, she moved to Texas, where she enlisted in the Air Force National Guard.

She went on to earn her Master of Social Work from Texas State University-San Marcos with Social Work Honor Society in 2008. In 2019 she received her License in Clinical Social Work (LCSW) as a therapist.
Courtney thrived when challenged, which drove her passion for running. She was part of a local Cedar Park running club for years, running 10K’s and half marathons every chance she could. She especially enjoyed running for fundraising efforts with organizations such as Susan G. Koman’s Run for the Cure.
Of all her accomplishments, being mother to her two daughters, Chloe Renee and Savannah Reese made her the proudest and her legacy will forever live through them.
She was a faithful Christian who believed in the Lord, family, and community. Her church family and friends have provided comfort and support these past years. She and her daughters are members of Great Hills Baptist Church of Austin, TX.
