Marshall Boyd Sheppard Sr., passed away Sunday morning, Nov. 8, 2009, after a courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by his loving family.
Born on Sept. 6, 1928, 'Boyd' was a lifelong resident of Gloucester. He graduated from Botetourt High School on June 3, 1946, enlisted in the Army and received the World War ll Victory Metal and Army of Occupation Medal, Japan.
He graduated from the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock's Apprentice School, April 22, 1953, and retired from the company, as a sectional superintendent of the electrical department in 1990, with over 41 years of service.
Boyd was a lifelong member of Bellamy United Methodist Church. He was a 25-year member of the Historic Virginia Peninsula Region of the Antique Automobile Club of America. During those years, he took great pride in keeping his 1949 Ford, 1963 Dodge 330, 1966 Chrysler Newport and Mark IV Lincoln shiny and looking new. He was very proud of the many state and national trophies he won at various car shows over the years.
He was a member of the Woodman of the World Lodge 216, Gloucester, and also was involved with the Veterans Memorial Committee and the Bellamy Memorial Cemetery Committee.
Boyd was an avid sportsman and raised his beagle hunting dogs. He often talked of how there was no better joy than listening to them 'run' a rabbit.
He and his beloved wife, Peggy, enjoyed many mountain trips, especially in the fall, when the trees were at their peak. He was a loving husband, father and grandfather, who walked through life with quiet dignity. His advice and wisdom will be sorely missed by his family and his many friends.
Boyd was preceded in death by his parents, Marshall Gregory and Mary Moore Sheppard; and his son, Keith Sheppard(24742340).
He is survived by his wife, Peggy of 56 years; son, Marshall Boyd Sheppard Jr. 'M.B.' and his wife, Sue; grandson, Quinton Sheppard; and sisters, Elizabeth Kladler and husband, Paul, and Cassie Mae Silvis and husband, Clark. He is also survived by a host of loving nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be held Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2009, at Bellamy United Methodist Church, Gloucester, by the Rev. Kenneth Waclo and the Rev. Don Davis.
Burial will follow in the Bellamy Memorial Cemetery.
Andrews Funeral Home, Gloucester, is in charge of arrangements.

Cassie Mae Sheppard Silvis, the much-loved mother, grandmother, great and Nana, sister, and best friend passed away peacefully on March 12, 2018.
Cassie Mae was born Oct. 25, 1933, to Mary and Marshall Sheppard in Bellamy, Virginia. She joined older brother, Boyd, and later welcomed a younger sister, Libby.
Cassie Mae graduated from Botetourt High School and received a certificate in accounting from the College of William and Mary. She accepted a job at the Navel Weapon Station.
In 1957, Cassie Mae married Marshall Clark Silvis, who she met through her brother, Boyd. Clark’s sister, Milly, became another dear sister in Cassie Mae’s circle of love. She and Clark shared 56 years of marriage before he passed away in 2014.
Cassie Mae and Clark had two children, Mary Elizabeth and Richard. Once the children were in school, Cassie Mae began substituting in Gloucester schools until she accepted a position in the high school counseling department.
Throughout Cassie Mae’s life, her relationship with God and pleasure in singing, were always important. She sang first in Bellamy’s church at age three, and went on to serve in music, children’s and youth ministries, outreach ministries, and the administrative board. When she and Clark started spending winters in Florida, she was active in music and outreach services there in Leesburg. She had a servant’s heart and loved deeply.
In 2011, when Clark’s health was failing, they moved to Texas to be near both children. After Clark passed, Cassie Mae realized the need for a grief support group at the independent senior complex where she lived. So, very Cassie Mae-like, she started one and later held Bible studies in her apartment.
She was an inspiration to her family, which gradually expanded to include six grandchildren and six great-grands. Mary had married Charlie Sanders. Their three sons, Jared and wife Dawn, Jason and wife Christina, and Judson visited with their grandmother, and blessed her with six great-grands. Jared’s two boys, Jackson and Cash, were the last two to entertain their Nana before she slept deeply. Rick had married Cheryl, and their two daughters, Nikki and Jessie, from Alabama drove to Texas to enjoy a precious last visit with their grandmother.
Cassie Mae was preceded in death by her husband, both parents, her brother, two nephews, three brothers-in-law, and two sisters-in-law. She leaves a beautiful legacy of love and faith to her family and sweet fellowships in Virginia, Pennsylvania, Florida, and Texas.
The Silvis-Sheppard-Sanders Family would like to thank their compassionate friends in these states and many states, plus in Canada and China. Special thanks goes to her favorite nurse, Donnie, and those who tenderly ministered to her at Champions Cove, including friends, Vitas Hospice, and Acapella Home Health Caregivers. Thank you to Andrews Funeral Home & Crematory for hosting Cassie Mae’s celebration of life, and for the love from her home church members at Bellamy United Methodist Church. The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Saturday, March 17, 2018 from 12-2:00 p.m. with a Celebration of life starting at 2:00 p.m. Burial will be at Bellamy Memorial Cemetery. Andrews Funeral Home & Crematory is in charge of arrangements.
