Mrs. Sheppard was born September 17, 1937 in Corinth, MS and passed from this life on September 19, 2017 in Monroe, LA at the age of 80. Gail's greatest joy was being around her family. Her great-grandchildren kept her busy with all of their activities. She loved every aspect of their lives. Gail spent much of her free time making her yard a place of beauty. Swinging on her back porch was her favorite way to relax. She loved the time spent with her dog, "Doc Holiday". We find peace and comfort knowing that she is resting in the arms of Jesus Christ her Savior. She is preceded in death by her husband, Fred R. Sheppard; her parents, Glen and Sybil Smith; her great-grandchild, Charley Borden; her step-daughter, Sheri Clemons; one sister, Janis Mitchell; and one brother, Donnie Smith.
