Mikie (Michele) Shepard, lovingly known as Thunder and STF, has been a guiding light and source of strength for so many in our community. Through STF passion and vision, she touched thousands of lives with her spiritual guidance, unwavering kindness, and deep compassion. For over 50 years, STF dedicated herself to helping others, inspiring hope, healing, and unity among everyone who crossed her path. Her legacy is one of love, generosity, and a profound sense of connection that continues to ripple through all of us. Her lineage: five children, nine grandchildren, adopted children and many god children hold and honor her vision and community which will live on.

We are coming together to honor Mikie’s memory with a celebration of life and to support her beloved children and grandchildren during this difficult time. The funds raised will help cover the costs of the memorial and provide ongoing support for her family as they navigate this loss. Your contribution, no matter the size, will make a meaningful difference and help ensure that Mikie’s spirit of giving lives on.

We invite anyone who was touched by Sun Thunder Flower to join us in celebrating her life. Please share your stories, express your gratitude, and help us keep her enduring light shining bright. Thank you for being part of this community and for honoring Mikie’s incredible legacy.
