Shepherd, Geneva Boyd

Our dear mother, Geneva Faye Shepherd, sadly passed away on October 4, 2024, at the age of 64. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, daughter, and friend to many. She is preceded in death by her father, Myron John Boyd, Sr.

She leaves behind her mother, Annie Boyd; nine sisters and brothers, David Boyd, Eddie Boyd (Stephanie), Johnnie Boyd (Sherri), Melvin Boyd, Richard Boyd (Darlene), Barbara Stanley (Curtis), Connie Harvey (Danny), Bonnie Boyd (Dale), Phyllis Boyd Montgomery; sons, Christopher Thompson (Rebecca), Brandon Thompson, and Randy Thompson; grandchildren, Laura, Elizabeth, Noah, Phoenix, and Maddox Thompson; numerous cousins, nieces, and nephews; and six beloved pets, her dogs, Emma, Molly, Nala, and her cats, Bailey, Earl, and Lacey.

She loved her three sons with all of her heart and worked hard her whole life to help provide for them. She worked at Magnolia Manufacturing Company and then at Gatorade for almost 20 years, where she made many special friends. She was a person of great humor, loved laughing, and to make others laugh.

She loved all of her precious grandchildren, who brought much joy to her life and called her Nana. She spent many special moments with her granddaughter, Laura. The two of them shared a special bond that shall never be broken.

She attended Green Mountain Baptist Church, where her faith was strengthened in her Lord Jesus Christ. There is complete peace in knowing that she is now healed and with her Lord and Savior.
