I was just made aware of this sad news. My heart and prayers go out to her family. I grew up in the sheppick house through Jr high and high school and always welcomed with open arms. she was an amazing women and am sorry to hear this very sad news.
I loved working with Sandy in the DBA group at the State. So sorry we all retired and drifted away although spending more time with our grandkids is what Glenda, Sandy and I were so looking forward to. She is a wonderful friend, and coworker who loved her family so very much. Condolences to her family and friends.
Sandy and I worked together in the early eighties at what was then Ireco Chemicals. I think at that time our department was called Data Processing. We were colleagues and friends.
I remember a trip that Sandy, another colleague, and I made to the Boston area for some training. Because none of us had been back there before, we maximized our off class time exploring and sight seeing. Good memories!
I was sad to see her obituary and even sadder to read she'd been sick. You lose track of people but you don't forget them.
Condolences to the family. She was a special person.

Sandy is a very special person and was a wonderful co-worker in our DBA group at the State of Utah Department of Technology Services. I had the great privilege of working with Sandy for approximately 16 years. It was a sad time when she retired knowing that I would not see her smiling face and happy countenance each day at work. She was a joy to work with and she taught me many things over the years. I extend my condolences to her entire family and wish them peace in this time of great loss to them.

Dear Sheppick Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Sandy's illness and passing. Sandy and I worked together for many years at DTS and became good friends. Unfortunately, after we both retired we didn't stay in touch. She was a great person and, as you know, her family was her everything. I'm so fortunate to have had the opportunity to have her as a friend. May you find comfort in knowing her cancer struggle is over. Best wishes to all of you.

Sandy was a dear friend to me for many years. I first met her when I had the opportunity to be her visiting teacher with Dawn Belka as my companion. Years later, Sandy and I were visiting teaching companions. Sandy was a wonderful example, and she would always pray for our sisters in the car before we left to visit them.
Sandy and I served in primary together. She was my son's nursery leader and primary teacher with her husband, Kevin, and later served as primary secretary while I was primary president. Sandy was reliable and organized. She did a wonderful job keeping track of all the primary records and making sure that we never missed a child's birthday. When she was diagnosed with cancer, she continued serving faithfully in her calling.
Sandy was always willing to help with my babies in the back of the primary room. She had a heart of gold and loved the little ones! I remember her bringing me dinner in the last few weeks of my pregnancy because she knew I was overwhelmed with working on my degree and trying to take care of my family. She also gave us some outfits and diapers for our babies.
Sandy was never one to enjoy the spotlight. After knowing her for years, I learned of her talent for painting, and I was a little mad that I'd seen the paintings in her house so many times but had never known they were hers!
Sandy was a hard worker. She loved her husband dearly and always spoke very fondly of him. She was selfless and kind, quiet and reflective.
Sandy was a light in my life, and I am blessed to have known her.
