Carolyn Kay Shepler

Dear sweet Kay,
You always loved sitting on your driveway on Halloween nite, handing out candy to all of the kids! CONNOR, dressed as a medic, joined you and Don in Heaven on 5/24/20. Please hug him for us. Corey, dressed as the hotdog, turned 33 today! Connor’s birthday was yesterday. Kay, your beautiful home is still beautiful, but we will never have neighbors as special as you. You were filled by the Holy Spirit and I see that so clearly now. We miss you every single day! Love,...

We were blessed to live across the street from Pappa Don and Aunt Kay (as our boys called them). Kay unabashedly sat on her driveway every Halloween! She absolutely loved enteracting with the kids. And no one won more neighborhood Pokeno games than Kay. She would insist on trading her winning card with my losing card; on which Kay started winning! Kay had a heart of gold, beauty inside and out, and a kindness that would light up any room. I will remember her forever.

Kay was a kind an loving person. Being a neighbor of hers for over 10 years she was always ready to lend a kind hand or word. Every Halloween she and Don would sit out in the driveway and pass out candy to the kids. Even when she entered the nursing home and when Don was going downhill with his illness, she remained in good spirits. Her and Don can now be a peace together.
