Sheila Wynee Whittington's Obituary
Sheila Wynee Harrison Whittington was born on Oct. 11, 1961 in Anne Arundel County to the late Joe Louis Harrison and Ellean Thomas Harrison. She was called home to glory, suddenly on Jan. 27, 2021.
Sheila received her former education in Anne Arundel County Public School System. She was a dedicated housewife. Sheila met the love of her life over 39 years ago and were joined in holy matrimony on April 25, 1997. They enjoyed a close relationship. You could not say Sheila without saying Ace. From this union, five children were born. Sheila was a devoted and loving wife, mother and grandmother. She had a great love for her grandchildren. She cared for them as if they were her own.
Sheila was a great cook. Her favorite dish was liver and onions, smothered in gravy with mashed potatoes and green beans on the side. She loved to joke and play. She was the life of the party. Although she was the life of the party she did not like taking pictures. As soon as she saw the camera she would turn her head. After her partying days, she became a homebody. She also loved to clean and everything had to be in order, “not messy”. She was a no-nonsense type of woman and wasn’t afraid to voice her opinion.
Sheila was preceded in death by her parents, Joe and Ellean Harrison; husband, Larry Whittington, Sr.; one granddaughter, Deyjah Whittington; one sister, three brothers; father-in-law and mother-in-law whom she affectionately called “Momma”.
Shelia is survived by her seven children, Tashea Wilson, Demond Butler, Latoya Conner, Larry, Jr., Chkeada (Gordon), Deon and Lakesha Whittington; six sisters, Joanne, Tessa (Gerald), Vivian, Wyseola, Jolyn and Sharon Harrison; one brother, Phillip Harrison; one son-in-law, Terrence Conner; three brothers-in-law, three sisters-in-law; twelve grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews, relatives and friends.
Mom
For all the times that I forgot to "thank you"
For all the special, little things you do
For all the words that sometimes go unspoken,
I need to say, "I love you, Mom...I do."
I love you for the way you stop and listen,
And for your support throughout the years,
For teaching us the meaning of compassion,
And sharing in our triumphs and our tears.
And if, at times, I may have seemed ungrateful,
I want to say, "I truly hope you see,
That nothing you have done has been forgotten,
And day by day, you mean more to us."
We love you,
Your Children
Sister-in-Law
You left us so suddenly.
Our hearts are full of pain.
Thank you for the love you
shared with our brother
and the beautiful nieces and nephews
God blessed us with.
You will forever be missed,
but always in our hearts
We love you,
William (Phyllis), Harry and Yvette
