Shelby R. Pinkney


Sunrise: August 18, 1960
Sunset: July 15, 2019

Shelby Renette “Nett” Pinkney, 58, of Norfolk, Virginia was peacefully called home on July 15, 2019. Shelby was known and loved for her kind and generous heart. Shelby could be as feisty as a bull, and as gentle as a lamb. There are so many words to describe Nett, such as, chatty, funny, easy-going, friendly, generous, tidy and the list goes on. Shelby was born August 18, 1960 to the late Robert and Queenie Pinkney. Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by her  grandmother, Daisy M. Pinkney, aunt, Thelma Robinson and sisters, Chandra Pinkney and Desiree Jernigan.

Left to cherish Shelby’s precious memories are her daughters, LaKeisha and LaTasha Pinkney; son, Dominique Pinkney; grandson, Keshon Pinkney; grand-pup, Lex Pinkney; aunt, Louisa Patterson; sisters, Beverly Pinkney, Drena Robinson and Tyra Pinkney; brothers, Anthony and Shawn Pinkney, and a host of nieces and great nieces, including Dezada and De’Zaria “Tigger” Jernigan, nephews, great nephews, cousins and loving friends.

“Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me” ~Psalm 23:4.
