Sharon Baker Obituary
She was predeceased by her beloved parents, Shirley Miller Dwyer Yamnicky and Webster Thomas Dwyer; her stepfather, Peter Paul Yamnicky; and her cherished pets who are waiting for her at the Rainbow Bridge, including the light of her life, Putamus Putty.
Sharon is survived by her devoted cats, Captain Jack and Licorice, and by her loving partner, Michael Revell.
She retired from the City of Virginia Beach after a career in Public Utilities Customer Service and as a Precinct Desk Officer with the Virginia Beach Police Department. Later, she worked at QVC, where she eventually retired.
A proud graduate of First Colonial High School with honors, Sharon was active in the Red Hat Society, serving as the Queen of the Merry Marigolds. She also enjoyed participating in sweepstakes clubs and found great joy in entering-and often winning-sweepstakes.
Sharon will be deeply missed by her family of friends and her beloved cats.
A visitation will be held on Friday, August 29, 2025, from 5:00–8:00 PM at Altmeyer Funeral Home – Maestas Chapel (1801 Baltic Avenue, Virginia Beach). A graveside service will follow on Saturday, at 9:30 AM at Eastern Shore Chapel Cemetery (2020 Laskin Road, Virginia Beach).
