James C. Sheppard, 83, passed away at his home near
Moyie Springs on February 20, 2017. Services
will be held at 11 a.m. Thursday, February 23,
in the Bonners Ferry Funeral Home Chapel with
private interment in Grandview Cemetery.
James was born in Sacramento, California, to
Paul and Ina Sheppard in 1933.
Jim worked for Seattle City Light for 33 years
as a pole hauler. He met and married the love of
his life, Lori, in 1974 and his world changed.
No more baseball bats and gloves! He helped
raise his girls to be able to run chains for his
tractor and stack wood. He survived when a tree
decided to fight back.
Jim and Lori moved to Bonners Ferry, where they
found their Utopia on Maas Loop. A place they
could feed the grand deer and he could put his
favorite toys (tractors) to use. They worked
together to make their new home a park-like
setting where friends and family could come and
instantly relax.
He was preceded in death by his son, Daniel, and
sisters Timmy, Bebe and Fern.
Survived by his loving wife Lori, daughters
Yvette, Yvonne (husband Dave), Nicolette and
Pebbles, and granddaughters Brittany and
Stephanie. |
