Karon Mary-Alice Shepperdson

October 31, 1948 – October 29, 2024

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of Karon Mary-Alice Shepperdson, who peacefully departed at Lakeridge Health at the age of 76. She was the cherished wife of the late Peter Shepperdson.

Karon is predeceased by her parents, Robert Ashmore and Madeline Williams. She leaves behind her beloved sons, Shawn and Bradley, as well as her loving siblings, Larry (Arlene) and Rose (John). She is also predeceased by siblings Douglas, Wilma, and Sharron-Rose. Karon was “Extra Mom” to Michael Martone (Ang) and John Salfi (Rebecca), both of Peterborough.

Karon is survived by numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, and many members of her hockey, GensNation, and lacrosse families. Generals hockey and Green Gales lacrosse were a central part of Karon's life; she was a devoted Oshawa Generals fan and season ticket holder since the 1960s and President of the Booster Club since 1969. Known for her tradition of baking a “birthday pie” for each Generals player, Karon organized booster club buses for away games, bringing her “Let’s Go You Gennies” chant to fans across the Ontario Hockey League. She was inducted into the Hall of Fame for the Clarington Green Gaels Lacrosse team, a testament to her passion for sports and community.

Visitation for Karon will take place at Oshawa Funeral Home, located at 847 King Street West, Oshawa, Ontario, on Wednesday, November 6th, 2024, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM. A service will be held at the funeral home on Thursday, November 7th, 2024, at 10:30 AM, with interment to follow at Union Cemetery and a reception at Oshawa Funeral Home.

In lieu of flowers, the family kindly requests donations to the Cancer Society of Canada, Whitby Shores, the Heart and Stroke Foundation, or a charity of your choice.
