Loreley Anne Paul, 76, of Sebastian, Florida, died Sunday, September 25th surrounded by her family. Laura had a passion for life and people. She was in perpetual motion and didn't have time to be burdened with sickness. It is in this same spirit that we call to remembrance the celebration of her life!

She was born to the late Wilbur and Dorothy Shepherd on July 1, 1940 in Minneapolis, MN and graduated from Columbia Heights High School in 1958. She had 3 beautiful children and 2 wonderful grandchildren that brought joy to her life. Laura loved to travel and many were instantly attracted to her fun-loving spirit and outgoing personality. She was a strong, independent woman who loved to have a good time, but didn't shy away from hard work. It was important for her to help others in need - from simply being there as a shoulder to cry on, to opening her home for those that were in transition and needed a place to stay. Her generous influence and example are a legacy to those she leaves behind and she will be greatly missed as a mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend.

She was predeceased by her son, Scott E. Roberts and is survived by her daughters, Linda M Roberts of Sebastian and Robyn J Roberts of Minneapolis, MN; as well as her 2 granddaughters, Corine and Erin. Her brother Ronald Shepherd predeceases her; however, she is survived by her sister Judith L Leach (Timothy) and brother Robin Shepherd (Suzette).

Her internment will be held in Minneapolis, MN and will be determined at a later date.
