Obituary for Jennifer Rena Shepherd
Some people only walk this earth for a short time. Their departure reminds us that God knows when he is ready to take his children and turn their trials and tribulations in for Angel wings. Our loved ones are now our protectors, watching over us from above.
Jennifer Rena (Hickman) Shepherd, age 45, of Luttrell, went home to Jesus to gain her angel wings on December 18th, 2021 at North Knoxville Medical Center.
Jennifer was born to Martha Fay Graham and Raymond Eugene Hickman on November 6th, 1976 in Jefferson City, Tennessee. As a child she loved her family, dressing up, and going to Bible school. As a teenager she loved AquaNet, big hair, hair metal, and WWE. As an adult she was a wonderful wife, mother, daughter, sister, and friend to many. She had a heart of gold and was truly a beautiful person inside and out; Everyone that knew her would tell you she was one of a kind. She was a devout Christian and a member of Open Doors Outreach Ministry. She loved spreading the word of Jesus to anyone with an open mind and heart. She adored her dog, Ren Ren, who helped get her through the passing of her father in 2015.
