In the quiet embrace of Virginia Beach, a soul adorned with grace and tenderness departed from this earthly realm. Sharon Loiuse Riddick Butcher, a celestial presence among us, transcended to the ethereal plane on September 30, 2023, at the age of 66.

Sharon, a nurse of extraordinary compassion, dedicated over four decades of her life to the healing arts.

Like a pure angel walking among mortals, she bestowed warmth, tenderness, and solace upon the weary souls she encountered. Her gentle touch mended broken hearts, and her radiant smile brought a glimmer of hope even in the darkest of times.
In the embrace of family, Sharon found solace and joy. Her beloved husband, Garry Butcher, stood as her steadfast companion throughout life’s journey, their love an eternal flame that flickered with unwavering devotion. Three daughters, Shanell Riddick, Shanyetta Morgan, and Sharae Locker, were the embodiment of her love and legacy, carrying forward the torch of compassion and grace that she so fervently ignited. Within the embrace of their love, Sharon found her greatest joy.
And as the seasons turned, Sharon’s family grew, blossoming with the arrival of 15 grandchildren and 6 great-grandchildren. Each precious life, a testament to the love and nurturing she bestowed upon her lineage. In their laughter and innocent eyes, her spirit dances, forever etched in the tapestry of their lives.
