Nettie Rinker Obituary
Nettie was known for her warmth, wit, and unwavering dedication to her family. She is survived by her three daughters: Paula Rinker, Melissa Hagan (Michael Hagan), and Sheila Nesbit (Sean Nesbit); four grandchildren: Stephanie Smith, Shannon Rinker, Spencer Nesbit, and Shauna Nesbit; and three great-grandchildren: Willow, Carson, and River. She also leaves behind two brothers, Harry Walter and David Walter, Sr.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, Robert Rinker, and their cherished canine companion, Teddy Bear.
Nettie found joy in life's simple pleasures-traveling to new places, crocheting blankets and cooking for loved ones, indulging in retail therapy, solving crossword puzzles, and laughing along with British television comedies. Her generous spirit and sharp sense of humor will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
A graveside service will be held on Saturday, September 13th at 1:00 PM at the Charles Emerson Walter Cemetery in Fort Valley, Virginia. Those wishing to express their sympathy may do so through Heishman Funeral Service, 159 N. Main Street, Woodstock, VA 22664.
In honoring Nettie's memory, may we carry forward her legacy of kindness, resilience, and love.
