Patricia Margaret Shepperd

Patricia Shepperd joined the Lord and her husband Rex, passing away peacefully on December 21, 2019.

Born in West Seattle to Tay and Amelia Cooper, she was the oldest of three siblings. She graduated from West Seattle High.

In 1952, a young Patty Cooper met the dashing Rex Shepperd when she went to buy new tires. Rex flirted with Pat and she left with four new tires. Making only one payment, they married a short time later. Settling in West Seattle, the couple established many businesses. In 1970 they began investing in Real Estate. Pat made many lifelong friends during her career with Sears (Seattle), holding a position in management before retiring.

Pat and Rex traveled to their homes on Whidbey Island and Florida to enjoy the sunshine and the beaches. She enjoyed bike rides along Alki with grandkids, embroidering and puttering in her dahlia and vegetable gardens. Her favorite gift to receive was scratch tickets. They kept her happy between her "girls trips" to Reno with Sister Vi and friends.

There was nothing Pat treasured more than her family. She hosted weekly Sunday dinners in her home up until her passing. She enjoyed cooking for her kids and taking their money playing cards.

Patricia is survived by son James, daughters Jacqueline and Janell (Warren) and their families. We will miss you Mom. In lieu of flowers, please consider a contribution to St. Jude’s, American Medical Response, and Federal Way Fire Station # 63 for their next toy drive.
