Sharon Nuckles Obituary
Shay was the mother of a son David, and a daughter Susan, both currently residing in Florida. She had numerous grandchildren, and remained lovingly connected to her granddaughter Ashley and her great grandchildren, all of whom gave her a big grin and a sparkle in her eyes. Shay loved her animals, giving 9 dogs and 3 cats a life of great affection. She fed birds and squirrels and any other critters lucky enough to cross her path. Shay was a driven and determined soul. She graduated from Hampton High School and Christopher Newport College. She successfully served as Director of Sales and General Manager for a variety of hotels in Williamsburg and Hampton. She was an avid gardener and genealogist. She loved traveling and visited many locales throughout England, Scotland, Whales, Mexico and many states throughout the US. She could bait her own hook and clean her own fish. She was truly a renaissance woman.
As the years passed, family members Kevin and Debbie, Wayne and Kim, and nieces Stephanie, Heather and Erica and their respective spouses became a source of love and support. Her husband of 40 years Craig, will miss and love her until the end of time.
A celebration of life featuring music by her beloved Bruce Springsteen, will be held at the family home at a later date.
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to your local NO-Kill animal shelter or the Alzheimer's Association. Local arrangements by Amory Funeral Home, Grafton, VA.

Shay was beautiful, intelligent, interesting, elegant and hilarious! I fell in love with her immediately upon meeting. I was blessed to become a “ part of the family “ and I am forever grateful for the bond! Shay will be missed!

We will continue to think of Shay every morning when we open our front curtains and view the Coral Barked Maple which she had planted to memorialize my father. It attracts 'Year-round Interest as did she.

Craig,
I grieve with you over such a tremendous loss. I saw Shay’s obituary in the Daily Press. She sounds like an awesome lady, one I would loved to have known. I am happy you had forty years together. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
