REMEMBERING THOSE WE LOST
Patti Ann (Mays) Shepherd
Patti Shepherd, age 75 of Lexington and formerly of Noble,
passed away Monday, January 31, 2022, at Norman Regional Hospital.
Patricia Ann Mays was born October 21, 1946 in Hamilton, OH, the 2nd of 5
children born to Dillard Lee Mays and Ruth Ann Rogers. She was raised in
Hamilton and attended school there, graduating from Dixon Israel High
School. By chance, she met a young serviceman named Charles Williams
“Bill” Shepherd. It was said he was a charmer, and when you know,
you know. They fell in love and were married on March 21, 1964 in Muncy,
Indiana. Following her sister, the young family moved to Oklahoma,
settling in Okla. City, and later settling in Noble. Together they raised
three children, sons, Chuck and Bobby and daughter, Kelly. For nearly 20
years, Patti worked in transportation as a dispatcher for Noble Public
Schools. Her greatest joy was her family, and she cherished her
grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was a woman of great faith; a
prayer warrior, a wonderful mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.
She will be dearly missed!
