Sally Francis Shepherd

Sally Shepherd was called home by the Lord on April 26, 2022. She was born on October 31, 1953 in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Sally leaves behind her husband, Ron Shepherd, of 42 years, as well as 4 children and 8 grandchildren (9th grandchild due in August). Sally was a loving and caring woman who placed her family above all else.

Sally retired from the Nebraska Department of Education and, after 30 years of planning and saving, she and Ron made their dream of retiring and living in Estes Park, Colorado a reality. Up until the COVID pandemic, Sally and Ron had made over 300 visits to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Family was everything to Sally and she built a strong one. She taught them Christian values and to appreciate what God has provided. Sally reminded everyone to be grateful and kind. She never met anyone she didn’t like and it wasn’t uncommon for her to greet you with “Hi Sweetie!”

The void left with the loss of Sally will be filled with new memories, however she will always be the family’s rock.

A memorial service will be held on May 29th at 1:30pm at Lily Lake near Estes Park, CO.
