Yorktown, Va. – Una May Shurtleff (Miss Una), 87, passed away peacefully on September 24th, 2020, surrounded by the love of her family. Born in England, the youngest of 7 children.

In the early 1990’s, Miss Una and her husband Ron volunteered together at Mary Immaculate Hospital. This led her to become involved with Family Focus as a volunteer and then a facilitator. 25 years and many families and children later, Miss Una is known far and wide for her loving, caring, gentle, giving and nurturing heart. Miss Una was a devoted member of St Mark Lutheran Church where she became the Nursery Coordinator.
She loved her yearly family vacations in the Outer Banks. Her day was always started with a nice, hot cup of tea. We will miss her at the family barbeques and holiday dinners, especially the “Punch” on Christmas Eve.
Miss Una has now joined her 6 siblings in heaven and we are sure they are having a lovely “chin wag”. Her many family members, here and across the pond, and dear friends will miss her greatly.
