Virginia Beach- Shannon Lee Rector, 44, quietly slipped away on May 13, 2016 after a long battle with cancer. She was born in San Francisco, California on August 16, 1971. Shannon graduated from Medical Careers Institute as a registered nurse and worked at Sentara Leigh Hospital in the surgical recovery unit. She was passionate about her work and loved helping others. Her kindness and compassion are qualities that will be remembered by all whose lives she touched.
Shannon also loved to spend time with family and friends, read, craft, camp, bowl, and engage in outdoor activities. She was a Christian and looked forward to her eternal heavenly home.

Shannon was predeceased by her mother, Sandra Hippeard; stepfather, Duey Hippeard; and brother, Shawn Hippeard.
