Sandra Sheppard Obituary
Born on July 12, 1939, to the late Charles and Olive Taylor, Sandra lived a life rooted in faith, family, and simple joys. She was an active member of Lakeside Christian Church, where she found both spiritual fulfillment and community.
Sandra had a deep love for gardening, and her green thumb brought life and beauty to every corner of her home. More than anything, she cherished the time spent with her grandchildren, who brought endless joy to her later years.
She is preceded in death by her parents and her brother, Wayne Markward. Sandra is survived by her loving children: Randy (Jeanne) Sheppard, Ron (Kimberly) Sheppard, and Jodi (Joe) Dirr; her brother, James Taylor; five grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren. She also leaves behind her beloved cat, Bit, who was a constant companion.
A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, June 2, 2025 at 4PM with a Visitation following until 6:30 P.M. at Lakeside Christian Church, to honor Sandra's memory and the quiet, enduring legacy of love and care she leaves behind.
In lieu of flowers the family ask that you make a donation in Sandra's memory to the New Hope Pregnancy Center. To plant a beautiful memorial tree in memory of Sandra, please visit our Tree Store.

Jodi, Randy and Ron.. you and your family were given a legacy! Your mom so believed the value of teaching young children about Jesus. My children reaped the benefits of her beliefs. She was at the funeral when my girls lost their first grandparent, a friendly face in a sea of strangers. She also gave up on a wayward parent who kept getting hung up after church (usually talking) and started bringing my youngest upstairs herself. (Yes that was me). But the best story occurred when I was working at the Jewish Community Relations Council. My boss, liked to throw pop quizzes. He wanted to know what the shortest verse in the Bible was. I knew the answer just not where it was located. This was waaaay before Google, so I called church. Who answered the phone? Sandy Sheppard. Of course she knew the answer. Thanks for sharing your mom with us. Mary Alice Parrish

Sandra was such a beautiful woman...inside and out. She always greeted others with her lovely smile. I will never forget her.

I always loved seeing Sandy at church, and shall miss her very much. She was a beautiful example of what a Christian should do to serve God. My deepest sympathy to her family.
