Survivors include her daughter, Renee Carter (Carroll); granddaughter, Holly Yokley (Tyler); grandson, Austin Carter; granddaughter, Rebecca Shepard; grandson, Logan Shepard (Hannah); two great-grandchildren, Miles and Erin Shepard; brother, Lloyd Grim; sister, Frances Bates; along with several nieces, nephews, and a host of family and friends.
The family will receive friends from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 14, 2025 at Scott County Funeral Home.
A graveside service will follow at Shepard-Bowen Cemetery with Pastor Joe Hill officiating. Pallbearers will be Logan Shepard, Austin Carter, Carroll Carter, Bob Shepard, Junior Watts, and Randy Watts. Honorary pallbearers will be Tim Humphrey and Tyler Yokley.
