NAGS HEAD — Sheila Pauline Comstock, 71, unexpectedly passed away on June 10, 2023, at her home in Nags Head, NC. She will be deeply missed by her friends and family. Sheila was born in Toledo, Ohio. She was raised in a large family with 6 brothers and sisters and would go on to have five children of her own and raise them with her husband, Robert “Bobby” Comstock, in Woodbridge, Virginia.
She was happiest when caring for others, always making sure every mouth was fed and head had a roof. She fostered three children in addition to her five, and she would become a grandmother to 13 and great-grandmother to 4. She was a skilled event planner and manager, but she took pride in being a mother most.
She loved being surrounded by her family most of all.

Preceded in death by her sons Travis Kelly Deardorff, Marcus Thompson, and her brother Keith Kalvin Kessler.
Sheila will be missed but her legacy will live on through all of the lives she’s touched during her time on earth.
