Nancy Shepke Obituary

Nancy Ann Shepke, 72, of Westminster, MD and formally of Pasadena, MD, passed away on February 24, 2026 at BridgingLife- Dove House.

Born on July 22, 1953 in Baltimore, MD, Nancy was the daughter of the late Elmer and Dorothy (Squires) Norris.

Nancy was raised in the Lutheran faith but later converted to Catholicism. She was an avid reader and loved to write her own stories to share with others. She enjoyed her past careers as a waitress and as the first female officer in Anne Arundel County. Her most proud profession was raising her family. Nancy had a heart of gold despite life's challenges, and she will be forever remembered as the strong, caring woman she was.

Nancy is survived by her husband, Talbert Shepke; children, Michael T. Shepke, Connie L. Shepke, and Jennifer A. Johnson; grandchildren, David, Justin, Hannah, Olivia, and Chase; one great-grandchild; and numerous extended family members and friends.

A private memorial mass was held for family only.
