by his side. He is survived by son, Curtis Shepard of St. Louis, and daughter, Zoe Ann

Ned was born on December 8, 1931 in Ann Arbor, Michigan to Carroll C. and Helen F.
Shepard. During his middle school years the family relocated to St. Louis, Missouri,
where he graduated from the Principia Upper School.
Ned attended University of Missouri as an English major, but interrupted his education to
enlist instead in the U. S. Coast Guard as the Korean conflict heated up. He was posted
to the Great Lakes District in Cleveland where he met Donna in 1954. They married in
1955 and spent the next 60 years together.
