On the morning of July 2, 2023, we lost our beloved wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. Tracy Lee Shepard was born in Fresno, CA at Saint Agnes Medical Center on September 21, 1957 to the parents of Blair and LaVerne Kain.
Tracy grew up in Fresno and graduated from Fresno High School in 1975. On March 17, 1979 Tracy married the love of her life, Lee Joseph Shepard.
Tracy worked as a daycare teacher, cosmetologist, office manager for the family business Lion Pools, but her most important role in life was being a mother to her 2 children Tom and Rebecca and grandmother to her 5 grandchildren.
Tracy enjoyed spending time with her family, painting, gardening, sewing, going to Madera Speedway, and going on many adventures in their RV. Tracy believed there is no love as special as the love of a grandmother, mother, and wife and she proved that every single day.
Tracy was survived by her husband of 44 years Lee Shepard; her children Tom (Maria Shepard), Rebecca (Shay Fields); her grandchildren Ian and Addison Shepard, Reagan, Melanie, and Kennedy Fields; And her siblings Janet Wood, Tina (Ed Winebrenner) and Michael (Cheryl Kain).
