Britlyn Weinstock Obituary

Published by Woody Funeral Home Parham on Dec. 1, 2017.
BRITLYN SHEPPARD WEINSTOCK,: Very few people start life with as many challenges as Britlyn did 21 years ago and even fewer are able to overcome so much adversity. After an extended hospitalization, Britlyn passed away on Nov. 30th. She is survived by her parents, Harry and Cindy Sheppard Weinstock; sister Leah; grandmother Regina Weinstock of Newport News; aunts Barbara Weinstock (Donna delSordo) of Richmond and Phyllis Weinstock of Newport News; and uncle Johnny Sheppard of Mechanicsville; as well as many cousins, teachers and friends. Preceding Britlyn in death were her maternal grandparents Johnny and Joan Sheppard of Hartfield and Mechanicsville and paternal grandfather Bernard Weinstock of Newport News.

Britlyn has been an inspiration to everyone who knew her. Her hugs are legendary and her smile brightened every room.

A funeral service will be held Monday, Dec. 4th at 11:00 am at Beth Ahabah Temple at 1111 W. Franklin Str., Richmond 23220. A private burial will be later that day in Hampton. In lieu of flowers please consider a donation to Shriner's Hospital for Children (attn.: T. Diamond), 3551 N. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19140.

I will never forget sweet Britlyn! Stubborn and sweet, and those dimples! I still think of her as that little second-grader in my classroom. Much love to your whole family during this time. I hope that I made even a fraction of the impact she made on my life!

Love,
Mrs. McBee

Harry, I was so saddened to read about the death of your beautiful daughter. It has been 50 years since I've seen you, and we all missed you at the August FHS reunion, but you obviously had a lot going on. I can not imagine the sorrow you and Cindy and Leah are experiencing, but memories of Britlyn will linger forever and ever. Please know that I, and I'm certain many others in the class of '67, are thinking of you with heavy hearts. May peace be with you. Janet Randall Brown

I am so very sorry about Britlyn's death. As I read about her I wished I had known her because obviously she and her family have been remarkable people.
Please accept my sympathies.

Britlyn, you touched so many of us in our lives with your beautiful smile, occasional shyness and that beautiful red hair. You were such a warrior in so many ways and all who knew you will feel sadness at your departure but will also have such fun memories of the time that we were blessed to have been able to share with you in your short life time. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of Britlyn's family who have been there for her every step of the way. Be at peace.
