Sandra Sheppard Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
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.
