Kristen was born in Enid on May 1, 1997 to Troy and Stephanie Shepard and departed this life on July 15, 2014 at Children's Medical Center in Oklahoma City. Kristen had just finished her Junior Year at Cherokee High School and was looking forward to all the things her Senior Year had to offer. Kristen was involved in many activities in her school and community. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Helena where she was involved in her youth group and assisted with Vacation Bible School. It was during this time that she made the most important decision of her life to accept Christ as her Savior. She was a three time All American Cheerleader and had the honor of participating in the Pre-Game and Half Time performances at the Capital One Bowl in Orlando. She was also nominated captain of her cheer squad. Kristen was also an active member of the Cherokee FFA Chapter. She loved showing her sheep, steers, and pigs and just hanging out with her friends at the stock shows. She was also a member of the livestock judging team. While in FFA, Kristen served as Parliamentarian and Secretary for her chapter. Kristen was member of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls where she served as Worthy Adviser. In Rainbow she was involved in various community service projects such as the Spook-House and the community Easter egg hunt.
Kristen had many honors bestowed upon her during her short 17 years. She was a beautiful, smart, talented girl who had a spunky personality. She touched the lives of so many people and will be deeply missed by all.
Kristen is survived by her parents, Troy and Stephanie; her brothers, Joshua and Michael; her maternal grandparents, Charles and Deborah Fesmire; her paternal grandparents, Art and Loretta Shepard; many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
She was preceded in death by her maternal and paternal great-grandparents.
Memorials may be made to First Baptist Church of Helena, Cherokee Rainbow Girls Assembly #39, Cherokee Ag Boosters or Cherokee Sports Boosters through the funeral home.
