Skylar Patricia McNeill departed her earthly life Tuesday, Oct. 2, 2019, while in the arms of her loving family.
Skylar was born March 27, 1992, at DePaul Hospital, Norfolk. Skylar was raised in the Sandbridge area of Virginia Beach. She attended the Governor’s School for the Arts for theater, and she graduated from Kellam High School.
Skylar enjoyed an eclectic variety of music and old movies, she also loved writing, and all of the arts. She loved animals, especially her horse, Chase. Skylar participated in several mission trips to help the underprivileged. Skylar also danced with the Moscow Ballet on several occasions in the Nutcracker Christmas performances, but above all, she enjoyed her time with friends and family.
Skylar was relentless as a loyal friend, she was an immensely-loved sister and daughter who brought her rare brand of humor to all situations. Skylar will be sorely missed by all who had the opportunity to know her, but all who knew her should celebrate in the knowledge that her spirit is now untethered by its earthly limitations, and is free to soar through the heavens as she dances with angels.
Left to cherish her memory are her mother, father, two brothers, three grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and too many friends to count.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m., Friday, Nov. 8, at Sandbridge Methodist Community Chapel, 3041 Sandpiper Road, Virginia Beach. Because of Skylar’s passion for helping the homeless and her love of all animals, the family’s desire is that you donate to the SPCA or Judeo-Christian Outreach Center in Skylar’s name.
Share online condolences with the family at H.D. Oliver Funeral Apts.
