R.I.P. Mrs. Shepler,
One of the sweetest, most considerate teachers I had the privilege of being taught by at Century High. Home Economics covered a wide variety of topics and she made sure we left class with an overall great deal of knowledge on the subject! She and her husband, Coach Shepler, were both wonderful teachers who made each student feel important.
Deepest sympathies to Michelle and her family for their loss.

So sorry to hear about Mrs. Shepler passing. She and Mr. Bob was a very sweet couple and helped my family a lot.
Our prayers and condolences goes to Michelle and Brad and the rest of the Word family.
