Sinclair Simpson Little
February 15, 2026
CHARLOTTE – Sinclair Simpson Little of Charlotte, NC died on Sunday, February 15, 2026, at the age of 35. She was born in Charlotte, NC on September 6, 1990, the daughter of Jack Walter Little and Sinclair Cornwell Little.
Simpson graduated from Charlotte Country Day School and went on to the University of Georgia before transferring to the University of South Carolina. She had an intense passion for helping people and most recently worked as a physical trainer and coach.
Those who knew Simpson knew her as the purest representation of joy. She embraced the people in her life with an endless source of energy – a trait that connected Simpson to one of her newest and closest friends, her two-year-old nephew, Monroe. She was always excited to engage in conversations whether deep or casual in nature and she was never afraid to be judged.
Simpson was deeply connected to the outdoors and loved making plans with those she loved. She especially loved spending time digging in a garden, coasting on a paddle board, or searching for shark teeth on the shores of a beach.
Simpson will be remembered by her fervor for an active lifestyle and spending time with her friends and family. As a daughter, Simpson loved fiercely and compassionately. As a sister, she was a protector, a teacher, and a kind companion. She flourished and found joy in any situation.
Loved by all, she was a loyal friend to all who knew her.
Simpson is survived by her mother, Sinclair Cornwell Little; her brothers, Ely Little and Jack Little and his wife, Ashlin and her nephew, Monroe. She was predeceased by her father, Jack.
A memorial service will be held at 2:30 PM on Monday, February 23, 2026, at Christ Episcopal Church. The family will receive friends following the service in the Blue Room at the church. For those unable to attend in person the service will be livestreamed through the church website at: https://christchurchcharlotte.org/watch-live-funerals/.

Coach Sinclair had a meaningful impact on our family. She was our gym instructor and we would always choose her class because she would be the most encouraging person as well as the most demanding coach at the same time…with a persistent smile. My son started working out more seriously over the last 12 months partly because she made him see something in him than he hadn’t seen before. He would go to the weekly Saturday private class (rain or shine) and would proudly come back and talk about the PR (personal record) he set. We were going to see her next Saturday in class. How painful it is when the good die young !!! We pray for her and her family’s peace in this tough moment.
