Sharon Winchell
Date of Death: February 9, 2021

February 9, 2021, Mom/ Nan Dies from Stubbornness, Salty popcorn

Sharon Winchell died at age 73, after sitting through an entire movie fighting through shortness of breath, she just wanted to enjoy her unsweet tea, watch Denzel Washington & eat her popcorn.

The way she died is just like she lived: she wrote her own rules, she fought through her illnesses and she paved her own way. And if you said she couldn’t do it; she would make sure she could.

Born in Massachusetts, right out of high school she joined the Women’s Army Corps. After the Army, she finished her master’s degree. Then fulfilled a life as a licensed Real Estate Broker. She dedicated her life to real estate and to her daughter, Rainy- Lee and grandson, Devin.

Sharon, was a woman of God, loving, caring, and was very determined to see things be done the “right way”. One of her favorite quotes/ scripture verses was “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the LORD your God is giving you”. I was reminded of that every day!

Sorry Mom, I couldn’t give you your last wish of a Viking funeral…

Until we see each other again!

Please join us in celebrating my extraordinary, beautiful mother’s life on Saturday, March 13, 2021 from 2-4 p.m. at Landstown Community Church (3220 Monet Drive, Virginia Beach, VA 23453) in the Fellowship Hall.

Your mom was like my second mother. She gave advice both wanted and unwanted. She loved my children as her own grandchildren. Sharon was strong willed and I will never forgot the embarrassment of her ice tea orders. I appreciate all she did for my family.

It has been such a blessing and honor to have known Ms Winchell for 30+years. As I have been friends of her beloved daughter Rainy since childhood. I will never forget the laughs, and the memories created with her and her family. I will never be able to thank her enough for her loyalty to me and my children during these last few years. She will be greatly missed. I find comfort in knowing she is with our Saviour in eternity.

I am so sorry for your loss. Sharon was very generous with her time and talents and helped many people purchase their home (who otherwise would not have). An angel among us.
Gerry Sessor left a message on February 11, 2021:
I am so sorry for your loss. Sharon was a sweet lady and always had a smile. We both had houses for rent in Cambridge Courts and we use to share stories about them. In fact, her tenant caught me there just yesterday to tell me about Sharon. She was liked by everyone.
