Please pray for the repose of the soul of Jo Sheppard. Jo was in her 90s and died of heart failure on Friday 11th October. Her Requiem Mass will be at 10.00 in her parish church, St Felix’s in Haverhill, on Thursday 21st November.
Jo had been a Servite sister and a teacher in London for some years. She later left that Order and married; she had a teenage daughter, Abigail, who was killed by a hit and run driver. Jo was admitted to the Dominican Lay Fraternity in 1996 and made her solemn profession on 6th February 1999.
Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord. May all Servite and Dominican saints welcome her into eternal peace and light.
