Nancy Ann Stokley Adkins

Date of Death: April 2, 2021

Nancy Ann Stokley Adkins, 85, passed away on Good Friday, April 2, 2021. She was born to the late Rex and Kathryn Stokley in Ohio.

She was a resident of Norfolk, Virginia until moving to Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Virginia Beach. Before moving, Nancy received loving care in her home for four years following the death of her beloved husband, Daryl. Their marriage of 61 years was a true example of love and commitment.

Nancy’s life was lived with wit, grace, and determination all while devoting herself to her family.

Left to cherish her memory are her two daughters: Kathy Eisenhower (James “Ike”) and Karen Robinson (Bill); her grandchildren: Shelby Neal (Chris), Sara Sanders (Clay), and Ian Logan; along with her twin great granddaughters: Kenzie Neal and Avery Neal, who lovingly called her “Nanny”; her infant great granddaughter, Kennedy Sanders, who recently brightened her world; and her oldest brother, George Stokley.

In addition to being predeceased by her parents, Nancy was predeceased by her younger brother William M. Stokley.

The family would like to thank the staff of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Westminster Canterbury Hospice, and her personal in-home caregivers for the gentle way they cared for Nancy and the love they showed her during her life.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to Lee’s Friends or a charity of your choice.

Services for Nancy will be held on Friday, April 23rd, at 1:30 pm at Holy Trinity Catholic Church, in Norfolk, VA. A private graveside service will be held at a later date.

Nancy and I were classmates at NCHS. I remember her being very popular in school. After many years, we reconnected planning high school reunions and Red Hat Society chapter, which Nancy loved so much. She is admired for her bravery and determination during her adult life with a dreaded disability. Always smiling and upbeat, she will be remembered for her sunny disposition. May she rest in peace.

I am so sorry for the loss of your mother. She was one of the greatest lady I have known. When she became home bound my Daughter Sherry and I would go visit with her. She was a joy to talk with we enjoyed every minute with her. I would bake her banana nut bread she loved that. Her care given was always so pleasant on our visits. Especially the one name Mary. She will be greatly missed by all. We sure did miss her when she was not able to go to our Red Hat Lunchs. Nancy may you rest in piece. You are now with Darryll. God Speed love and miss you. Mary .

May she rest in peace, She was a very brave persons and earned the admiration of many. Despite surgeries she continued on with her daily life, I am proud to call her a friend and send my prayers to her loved ones. She was a dear friend.
