Judith Susan Sheppard

in Loving Memory of Judith Susan Sheppard

June 18, 1961 – October 1, 2026

Judith Susan Sheppard, 65, of Kannapolis, NC (formerly of Cherry Hill, NJ), passed away peacefully on Thursday, October 1, 2026, surrounded by love at Atrium Health Cabarrus.

Born in Philadelphia, PA, she was the daughter of the late Bernard and Norma Cohen Ehrlich. Judith lived a life rich in love, devotion, and hard work. She was a dedicated team member at Jevic Transportation, Odyssey Logistics, and Sysco for many years. Above all, Judith's greatest joy in life was her family—she was a cherished, devoted wife, mother, and grandmother whose warmth and kindness touched everyone who knew her.

Her beautiful legacy will forever live on in the heart of her loving husband, Kenneth Sheppard. She is also survived by her cherished children, Jennifer Sheppard, Chris Sheppard, and Ashley Sheppard; her adored granddaughter, Penelope Sheppard; her siblings, Carol Rush of Sommers Point, NJ, and Billy Ehrlich of Arden, NC; as well as her extended family and many dear friends.
