Sharon Lynn Dake passed away unexpectedly Tuesday, April 21, 2020, at Mary Immaculate Hospital.
Sharon was a resident of Newport News for the past 45 years. She was born in Michigan and raised in Keyser, West Virginia. Sharon was an R.N. for over 40 years at CHKD in Norfolk, working in the E.R. She was always willing to help anyone and everyone in need and made a career out of it — her heart was pure.
She loved the simple things in life like spending time with her children and grandkids, getting pedicures and sunbathing on her deck. Going out to eat was always a favorite, although she ate very little; she would always leave the restaurant with leftovers. When she wasn’t with her grandkids, you could find her relaxing at home watching T.V. or reading books.
Nothing was more important to Sharon than her family. She treasured her children and grandkids and embraced every moment with them. Sharon was tiny but mighty!
She is survived by her devoted daughters, Shannon and Jessie Dake; five loving grandkids, Matthew Dake, Nevaeh Brown, Kamilah Brown, Amina Jahic and Ayven Jahic; mother, Betty Dake; siblings, Karen Dake, Tony Dake, Dean Dake and Lolly Dake; and her nieces and nephews, Jeremy Dake, Ray Stockwell and Taylor Dake; as well as other extended family.
The family would like to thank Sharon’s CHKD family for all their love and support through this trying time.
A memorial service will take place at a later date once the COVID-19 mandate for social gatherings has ended.
