Luvandy Sheppard, age 84, loving mother of eight, and adoring wife

to husband Charles Sheppard, passed away in the early hours of 22nd August

after a courageous battle with lung cancer. Luvandy was born in 1938 in

Jacksonville, Fl and grew up surrounded by her large family, she had 10 other

siblings and a lot of aunts and uncles. Luvandy was influenced by her family

to be a loving and caring woman, always giving her time to others, and she

incorporated that into her motherhood. She met her husband Charles in 1960

while at her small part time job and they fell in love instantly and knew they

both shared a love for family and decided to start their own. As a mother

she was generous, loving and kind. She never told any of her 8 children off,

and spoiled them as much as she possibly could. Luvandy recently became a

great-grandmother and she was absolutely thrilled about her family growing even

bigger. In her free time, Luvandy loved to sew for her family as much as possible. She believed it was very

important to leave memories of her behind. She will be greatly missed by her family and

especially her 5 daughters: Carrie, Emily, Lola, Poppy, and Kourtney; 3 sons: Charles Jr, Jefferey, and Lester who

adore her with all of their hearts.

We know that we can't have you but we're happy knowing that the angels

have finally got you back. Goodbye to a wonderful woman and a beautiful

mother.

Luvandy is survived by her husband, 5 daughters, 3 sons, 3 granddaughters and one great- grandchild.

There will be a service for those who would like to say their last

goodbye to Luvandy on the 24th June, at llam,

Forest Hill Cemetery.

Please wear bright colors as requested

by Luvandy’s family.
