In Loving Memory
          Marjorie Larson Warenski Sheppard
          January 19, 1915 -February 22, 1999

          Marjorie Larson Warenski Sheppard, voted the world's best mother by her ten children, left us Monday February 22, 1999, but her memory and spirit will never die. She was born January 19, 1915 in Santaquin, Utah, the second of three daughters to Ella Hudson and James Larson. She lived her childhood and mid-teens in Santaquin where she met and married Max Warenski. Their united union lasted until Max passed away 45 years later in 1977. This loving relationship produced ten babies. She then married Eugene Sheppard in 1978. They lived in Twin Falls, Idaho for the next 20 years, where they spent much time traveling, fishing and enjoying life together. Marjorie's goal in life was the raising and teaching her children the importance of love, family unity, to be reliable honest, and hard working responsible citizens. Although she faced hardships and adversity through the years her claim to fame in her eyes and mind was that her goals were reached. Right up until her death she still considered her kids, her babies, and if one was crying she would be right there to comfort them. Marjorie loved to go hunting and fishing with her family and will be dearly missed.

          This poem, by Henry Alfred Dixon, was read at her graveside by her Granddaughter.

          When I am gone from your side
          and all your tears have been dried
          Do not stand at my grave and weep
          I am not there, I do not sleep
          I am a thousand winds that blow
          I am the diamond glints on snow,
          I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
          I am the gentle autumns rain
          When you wake in the morning hush,
          I am the swift uplifting rush
          Of quiet birds in circled flight
          I am the soft star that shines at night
          And when you walk in the evening hours
          and catch the aroma of beautiful flowers
          There'll be no need to sob and cry
          I am not there, I did not die.
