Dear Editor,

Many friends have come to me and asked many questions about the passing of my daughter and I wanted to give everyone a little insite as to what a wonderful daughter she was.

Karen Shepard, lost her battle with ovarian cancer and kidney failure on December 18, 2009. She had been seriously ill for eleven years. Her remains will be placed in the Faith Lutheran Church Columbarium in Fairfield Bay. Karen was born June 6, 1948 in Frankfort, Indiana and moved to Des Moines, Iowa with her family in the late fifties. She graduated from North High School in 1966 and Iowa Beauty School in 1969. She owned her own business in Des Moines until early retirement due to her health. She was an accomplished artists in hair design. Karen loved animals and enjoyed music in all forms of the arts.

She is survived by her mother and one brother, Stephen (Ann) Shepard, nephews Jeff, Greg, and Matt Shepard, all of the Denver, CO area, also an aunt and uncle, many cousins and several very close friends who helped care for her during her illness. She was proceeded in death by her stepfather Herbert Repschlaeger of fairfield Bay.

Shirley and her family want to thank all the wonderful people of this area for their prayers and sympathy cards.

Thank you all,

Shirley Repschlaeger
