Tiera NaShae Shepherd (formerly Walker), 39, of Fredericksburg, VA, departed this life on March 25, 2026.

She graduated from Colonial Forge High School in 2005 and attended Tennessee State University pursuing a degree in Psychology. She worked with multiple companies in sales as a Visual Merchandiser. She also worked for Intuit as a Sales Associate where she was a top seller of their flagship products of TurboTax (tax preparation) and QuickBooks (accounting and payroll). After leaving Intuit, Tiera became an entrepreneur and started an online business called Uniquely Chic & Co. where she sold homemade soaps and body butters. She dealt with dry skin herself and decided to make skincare products that could help alleviate the issue for others.

She leaves to cherish her memories of her mother, Eileen Crayton; fathers, Mark Shepherd and Evans Crayton; brother, Tremayne Crayton; sisters, Shante Shepherd and Alyssa Shepherd; grandmother, Mary Walker; and a host of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
