Sheila Marie White

Sheila Marie White

Sheila Marie White, affectionately known as “Sissy” was called home to glory late Tuesday evening, December 10, 2024. She peacefully departed this world in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ whom she loved, praised, and worshipped. Sheila was born in Norfolk, Virginia on February 3,1958 to James Pete and Mertha Lee White.

Sheila was educated in the Norfolk School System. She had several different careers: Nursing (Certified Nursing Assistant), Lead Data Entry/Transcriber, Administrative Specialist, Specialized Financial Staff Support, Billing and Payment Specialist, Production and Customer Service Representative, and Technical Contractor Review Support. Of all the careers she had, Nursing was where her heart was. She loved working with her patients one-on-one, especially her older sister Viole. All of them loved her for her compassion, love, attention to detail, and how she went out of her way to make sure their needs were provided. Sissy accepted any challenge, head on, that was presented to her. She loved the excitement and the rewards that came with her position as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Sissy gave her best in everything that she did. An awesome mother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, she was unashamedly bold, outspoken, full of life, and laughter, and an all-around unique woman with a heart of gold. Sissy will truly be missed for her infectious smile, crazy sense of humor, sassiness, and indisputable humbleness.

Sheila is predeceased by her parents, James and Mertha; brothers, Clarence (Pete), Carey (Butch), Clifton, Harold, and Bobby (Chunky); sisters, Zadie Williams and Viole Brown; niece, Judy White, and Curley her faithful K9.

Sheila leaves to cherish and honor her memories: son, Lil Jimmy White; sister, Sandria Hughes; sister-in-law, Mary White; Jimmy Johnson, long lifetime friends, Phyllis Wilson, Sharon Norman, Tina Thompson, Deborah (Debbie) Sutherland, Margaret Puryear and nephews and nieces and hosts of other family members and friends.
