Michelle A. Merwin-Sheppard, 52, of Virginia, IL died Sunday, August 6, 2017, at her cousin’s residence in Bath, IL.

She was born September 5, 1964 in Havana, the daughter of Karen S. DeFord and James L. Merwin.  She was previously married to Ricki Eilers who died in 2016, Douglas Anderson who died in 2012, and more recently to Jeff Sheppard who died in 2013.

Michelle graduated from Chandlerville High School in 1982 and attended Heartland Business College.  With her husband, she owned and operated the Southside Tavern in Virginia and worked in the Cass County Treasurer’s Office.  She was later employed several years by the State of Illinois, serving in the office of the Speaker and the office of the Comptroller.

She enjoyed riding motorcycles, boating on the river, and relaxing in her backyard pool.  But her greatest treasure was time spent with her children, grandchildren, and her good friends.
