Passed away peacefully on Sunday, October 8, 2023, at the age of 87. Family has always been at the centre of Mum's life, so it is only fitting that she had a steady stream of family and loved ones visiting and supporting her during her final days. Many stories, memories, tears, and more than a few laughs have been shared throughout the week. She will be remembered by us all as a loving friend, sister, wife, mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Always ready with a bikkie and a cup of coffee, along with photographs and tales of great adventures. As per her wishes, we will not be having a funeral; however we will be celebrating her life and her legacy together as a family. Messages for the Sheppard Family may be sent c/- 19 London Street, Richmond, Christchurch 8013.
