Obituary

Katherine Elanore Sheets, 85, of Ridgecrest Circle, Staunton, Virginia, passed away Wednesday, September 18, 2024 in the Moses Cone Hospital in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Ms. Sheets was born in Cass, West Virginia on June 12, 1939, the daughter of the late John Edward and Olive Katherine (Gum) Sheets.

Following the death of her parents, Katherine was raised by her paternal grandparents, Griffie and Bertie (Galford) Sheets in Cass, West Virginia where she attended Greenbank High School.

Ms. Sheets was a member of Loch Willow Presbyterian Church in Churchville, Virginia. She loved flower gardening, country music, cloud gazing, and bird watching, especially cardinals, hummingbirds and owls. She adored collecting owl figurines as a part of her love for birds. Katherine will be remembered for her wonderful down home cooking and her beautiful smile that touched so many. She loved long rides in the country and attending the Highland County Maple Festival and the Fall Festival. She retired in 2000, as a caregiver for the elderly, her true passion.

Katherine will be sorely missed by many who loved her.

Surviving are her two daughters, Phyllis D. Back of Mechanicsville, Virginia and Kimberley Sue Vance of Staunton, Virginia; a grandson, Ryan A. Deola; a nephew, Chris Pullin and a niece, Julie Pullin. Katherine also cherished her relationships with her cousin Eva, her husband Buss and their daughter, Martha Neighbors, and a special friend and hairdresser, who she loved dearly, Sharon Estes.

At Katherine's request, there will be no public services.
