Caroline Colleen Harris Shepherd, 73, died July 12, 2018, in Lake Helen, Fla., after a three-year battle with chronic myeloid leukemia.
She was born April 18, 1945, in Warsaw, to Gordon and Dorothy Riggins Harris. She was married to Terry A. Shepherd on March 5, 1980.
She retired from R.R. Donnelley in Warsaw. She lived in the Warsaw area until 2016, when she moved to Lake Helen.
She owned and rode horses most of her life. She loved her dogs, Dolly and Lizzie, and was an avid animal lover. She enjoyed working with wood, her flowers and plants, and going to garage sales — always proud of the treasures she found.
