Mary A. Sheppard

Mary A. (Buckless) Sheppard passed peacefully at Concord Hospital on Wednesday, March 19, 2025. Mary was born on February 23, 1952 in Lynn, MA to the late Willard and Alice Buckless.

Mary graduated from Wakefield High School in 1969 and studied at Bunker Hill Community College. She spent most of her career as an office executive. Mary was a smart and talented woman who could figure out how to fix or build just about anything (even before the internet was invented). She also loved cooking, sewing, and making things for her family. Mary will be dearly missed by her family and all who knew her, including her neighbors and community in Tilton, NH, where she spent her retirement years.

Mary is survived by her beloved sons Billy and his wife Theresa of Jacksonville, NC and Jason and his wife Erin of Danvers, MA; her grandchildren Cole, Ivy, Anthony, Marisa, Jake, Braylan, Unity, and Zane; her sister Kathi Monkiewicz of Cape Coral, FL and brother Willard (Champ) Buckless of Acton, ME; and her best friend and cousin Julie Hatch of Rochester, NH. She also leaves behind numerous nieces, nephews and cousins that were all dear to her heart. Mary was predeceased by her parents, her sister Betty Ann, and her son Jacob.

A celebration of life service will be held on Saturday, June 21, 2025 at 9:00 am at Calvary Christian Church, 47 Grove Street, Lynnfield, MA.
