Angel Lynn Tharp

Angel Lynn Shepherd Tharp, age 58, of Kirbyville, Tx, passed away on July 30, 2025 in Jasper, Tx. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2024 at 2:00 p.m. at Shultz Funeral Home in Jasper, with her uncle, Pat Midkiff, officiating. The family will greet friends on Saturday from 1:00 p.m. until 2:00 p.m. at the funeral home. Interment will follow at Kirbyville Cemetery, where she will be laid to rest near her father.

Angel was born on August 2, 1966 in Orange, Tx to Jim and Elaine Shepherd. A life-long resident of Kirbyville, she was preceded in death by her father, Jim Shepherd. She is survived by her mother, Elaine Shepherd, her aunt, Sarah Shepherd, her daughter, Kaitlin Tharp Payne and husband Sam, her son, Colby Tharp and wife Madison, and her grandchildren, Ella and Landry Payne, all of Kirbyville.

Angel will be remembered for her love of being a mother, making people and spaces feel beautiful, cooking large meals, and her poodles. Her family is comforted by knowing that she is now at peace, both mentally and physically. We are thankful that her soul is finally back with her Granny Shepherd, her absolute favorite person in the world. Saturday is a day for celebrating Angel’s life, as it is also her birthday. The family asks that no one wears black, but feel free to wear pink, purple, or any bright color to honor her.
