Longtime Mojave resident Susan "Sue" Lee Shepherd left this Earth to be 
with the Lord on April 21, 2001 after a courageous battle against failing 
health. Sue passed away at Antelope Valley Hospital in Lancaster, 
California. She was surrounded by those who loved her in her final days.
Sue was born July 10, 1946 in Detroit, Michigan. She was the beloved wife 
and constant companion of Karl "Pat" Shepherd for more than 20 years. 
The couple was married on December 16, 1980 at Canyon Country 
Foursquare Church, Canyon Country, California.
Sue was a devoted mother to her two sons, Randy Hill of Stockton, Calif, 
and Jamie Hill of Lancaster, Calif. She adored her grandchildren Dylan 
Hill and Austin Hill and their mothers, Anjie Hill, wife of Jamie and mother of 
Dylan; and Austin's mother, Mariah Eppihimer of Glendale, Arizona.
Sue is also survived by her mother, Evelyn Metz of Leona Valley, Calif.; her 
brother Richard Metz and his wife Vivian, also of Leona Valley and her very 
close friend Teresa Hoffman and her two children, Cheyanne and Dennis, 
whom she loved as her own child and grandchildren.
She also leaves behind brothers-in-law Steve and Brad Shepherd and their 
families, of Honda; Greg Shepherd and his family of Saugus, Calif, and Jeff 
Shepherd and his family of Palm Springs, Calif.; also her mother-in-law 
Peggy (Shepherd) Miller and her husband Bud of Apple Valley, Calif.
Sue's father, Ralph Metz preceded her in death.
Family and friends will remember Sue as a compassionate and generous 
person, with a quick wit and wonderful sense of humor and a heart full of 
love. Sue will be missed by all who knew her.
A memorial service will be held on May 4 at 12 p.m. at the Mojave 
Crossroads Foursquare Church, 16518 Holt Street, Mojave.
