Myra "Lynn" Shepard-Sibal, passed away peacefully at home on Tuesday, June 10th, 2025, at the age of 63, in Lonsdale, Arkansas. She was the loving wife of Doug Sibal and devoted mother to Kristan Hulshizer-Sellens, Kortney Freeman, and Nikkole Sibal.

Lynn was born on Wednesday, May 30th, 1962, in Virginia Beach, Virginia to Johnny and Elizabeth (Tschacher) Shepard. After graduating from Hemingford High School, Lynn started her family and became a nurturing, loving mother to her eldest two children. She went on and accomplished many things in life. Lynn became the cherished wife of Doug Sibal with whom she shared 25 years of joyful companionship and deep love. Their life together was enriched by their shared passion for horses, their appreciation for the tranquility of country living, and the boundless love they had for raising their youngest child.

Lynn was a devoted member of the Catholic Church for all her life. She loved her animals. She spent all her free time with her dogs and horses. She was also passionate about arts and crafts. She enjoyed sewing, quilting and crafting.

Lynn was known for her boundless compassion and unwavering love for everyone she met. She loved her friends and family very deeply. Her life was fulfilled spending time with her friends, going to horse shows, crafts or simply sitting on the porch just making conversation. Known for her deep love for her grandchildren, not a day went by that she did not speak of them.
