Shauneille Romaine Wilcher

Shauneille Romaine Wilcher, departed this earthly life and entered into eternal peace on March 4, 2024. Shauneille was born on May 18, 1964, in Yorktown, VA to the late Gerry and Olivia Romaine Borum Wilcher.

A lifelong resident of Hornsbyville, she was baptized at Grafton Baptist Church - Harris Grove. She was a 1982 graduate of York High School and a talented vocalist and cellist. Shauneille went on to attend Thomas Nelson Community College and the University of Virginia. 

A heralded professional, Shauneille enjoyed a decades-long career in the radio broadcast industry, serving among others as a Staff Announcer with the Chesapeake Portsmouth Broadcasting Company and most recently, as a member of the WTJZ Praise 104.9 family. Her smooth intonation and precise diction live on in her many recorded radio spots and announcements. 

The enduring bond that Shauneille shared with her mother was enviable and unbroken from birth to when, as a dutiful caregiver, Shauneille laid her beloved mother to rest in 2016.  While saddened by the loss of sweet-natured Shauneille, all take comfort in knowing that mother and devoted daughter – inseparable in life -- are reunited in eternity.  

Shauneille will forever be cherished by closely-held cousins, Joan Borum, Michael Borum (Kim), Cathy BaCote (Theodore III), Jennifer Bechet (Leon), Colette Gresham (Doran) and La Rhonda Nicholas (Carl); and a host of relatives, friends, and colleagues.

A service to celebrate her life will be held at 11:00 a.m. Friday, March 22, 2024, at Whiting's Funeral Home. The family will receive friends on Friday from 10:00 a.m. until the hour of her service. 

Professional services entrusted to the staff of Whiting's Funeral Home, 7005 Pocahontas Trail, Williamsburg, Virginia 23185. 757-229-3011 whitingsfuneralhome.com
