Roslyn Sheperd

Sheperd (nee Tepper), 90, of Beachwood, passed away on March 13,2024

Born on September 7, 1933 to Mary and Albert Tepper, Roslyn graduated

from Shaker Heights High School and attended the University of Miami, Coral

Gables, FL. Music was the background to Roslyn’s life. She became an

accomplished classical pianist at a young age and played all types of music

by ear. An extraordinary gardener, summers were spent outdoors cultivating her

flowers, plants and trees. She kept a beautiful home and loved to end a

summer day with a barbecue and alfresco dining for family and friends.

Roslyn was a loving mother to JoAnn and Michael, an adoring

grandmother to Lindsay and a doting aunt to her many nieces and

nephews. We will all miss tremendously her feisty spirit, love of family and

sense of humor. Roslyn is survived by her daughter JoAnn Sheperd (Mike Humphrey) of

Tucson, AZ; son Michael Sheperd of Mayfield Hts.; granddaughter Lindsay

Laemmel (William) of Tucson; sister Audrey Berman Koblitz (Kenny);

special niece Stacy Chernett (Kevin) and children of Chicago; nephew

Scott Berman (Melissa) and children of Palm Beach Gardens, FL; and

beloved cat Baby Kitty. A private service will be held at a later date. Contributions in her memory

may be made to the Jewish National Fund (www.jnf.org) or Valley Save-APet (valleysaveapet.org).
