Mrs. Sheppard was a graduate of Mahopac High School, Class of 1973. She built a career as an office manager for Dr. Anthony Cuomo of Carmel, NY, that spanned over 30 dedicated years.

She was an avid traveler and loved visiting new places, particularly while RVing. Mrs. Sheppard was the consummate hostess; she loved throwing parties, cooking, and celebrating the holidays. She cherished time spent with those she held most dear and was a loving and devoted wife, sister, aunt, and friend. Loved by many, she will be deeply missed by all who had the good fortune to know her.

Sheppard; her brother, Robert Bertoncini (Linda); her sisters: JoAnn Plisko (Eric) and Noreen Hochsprung (Kenneth); her brother-in-law, Barry Sheppard (Denise); her sister-in-law, Jan Sheppard; and her many nieces and nephews.
