Mrs. Mary Shepard Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Mary Shepard of Concord, NC went to be with the Lord on February 8, 2022, after 81 years of life. She was a resident of Concord for 22 years where she lovingly cared for her daughter, Yvonne Desormeaux and two granddaughters Amber Cape Kingsland and Heather Elliott Rose. She was the oldest living sister of the Ray children. She grew up with 7 siblings Betty, Joyce, Marcus, Linda, Charles, Josephine and Dorothy. The love and commitment to support each other through every aspect or challenge in this life has been fulfilled and there is a home in heaven where there is rejoicing and love. She is the precious mother of 4 children, Jay Desormeaux Jr (Carla), Maria Desormeaux Bourg (Gordon), Yvonne Desormeaux (Harry) and Shannon Shepard (Lea). Her legacy includes 10 grandchildren and 17 great grandchildren who will carry the best memories of a life of love and servitude. She enjoyed gardening, the beach, the mountains, western movies and her babies. In the last years of her earthly life, we are fortunate, thankful and blessed to adopt into our family Oneida Morrison, Sally Coleman and Laverne Young who brought peace, joy and love to her care until the Lord took her into his heavenly embrace. The family will have a private burial at Brookside Cemetery in Millbrook, Alabama on Saturday June 11, 2022, followed by a Celebration of Life with family and friends at the home of Kaye and Michael Alexander. Brookside Funeral Home, Crematorium & Memorial Gardens of Millbrook, AL directing.
