I've known Mrs. Shepard for many years. She and her husband, the late Mr. Shepard would visit Sadie Saulter Elementary School, where their son, Adam, was a student. The Shepard's were very much interested in Adam's progress at school. They were easy to talk to and very eager to help at school in any capacity. Mrs. Shepard, you will be missed in the community and surrounding areas. Adam and family the Lord will give you grace and mercy to go through this most difficult time. Your parents...

Mrs. Helena A. Shepard, age 73, of Greenville, North Carolina, went to be with the Lord on Sunday, December 14, 2025. She was the beloved widow of Bobby Lee Shepard.
Helena was born on March 22, 1952, in St. John’s, Antigua, to Florence Greenway and the late Robert Greenway. She was baptized and confirmed at St. John’s Cathedral in Antigua, where her faith was firmly rooted from an early age.
She attended Central High School in the U.S. Virgin Islands. After graduating, Helena moved to the Bronx, New York, to pursue her career. After a few years, she married and later joined her husband during his service in the United States Army. Together, they traveled extensively, and among all the places she lived, Germany held a special place in her heart.
A devoted woman of faith, Helena attended church in every country she visited. She loved the Bible deeply and was known for her ability to quote scripture and thoughtfully answer any questions about God’s Word. Helena was faithful member of St. Paul’s Episcopal church.
Helena was a devoted and loving mother to her only son, Adam, and a proud grandmother to Tyrese and Khamauri. Family meant everything to her. She stayed in constant contact with loved ones, calling daily or weekly to make sure everyone was doing well. She shared a special bond with her best friend and sister, Mary.
Helena lived a full and happy life, surrounded by friends and family who loved her dearly. Her kindness, faith, and unwavering love will be remembered always. She will be deeply missed by all who knew her.
Helena was preceded in death by her father, Robert Greenaway, and her beloved nephew, Jamal Wethington.
She leaves to cherish her memory her loving son, Adam Shepard; her treasured grandsons, Tyrese and Khamauri; her devoted mother, Florence Greenway; U.S. Virgin Islands; her beloved sister, Mary Wethington (Ira) of New York; her sister-in-law, Nina Nobles, of North Carolina; her nephew, Tarik Wethington, of New York; her niece, Nathesia Chesson (Desse) of Connecticut; along with a host of loving nieces and nephews. She is also lovingly remembered by her special aunt, Alberta Weeks, of Florida; her special uncle, Mitch Rodney, of New York; her special aunt, Irene Wilkenson (David), of the U.S. Virgin Islands; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins; and her dear friends, Peggy and David.
