Herman Epps

Herman Epps was born to the late Sheffield and Lovie Mae Epps in
Ocala, Florida on June 13th, 1943. He graduated from Howard High
School prior to starting to work within his community, including more
than 20 years with Sprint Phone Company, in which he retired from. This
is not to mention all the time, energy, and resources he put into
improving the lives of the people around him.
To know Herman was to be impacted by him. He was a regular donor to
the American Red Cross in Marion County, FL for 18 years and enjoyed
helping many using his upholstery and auto mechanics expertise.
Memories also embrace Herman as an avid cake maker and amateur
photographer.
He was a faithful and dedicated church member of the Shiloh Seventh
Day Adventist Church for 40+ years. Herman was a deacon for several
years before becoming an Elder of the church. He served in the prayer
ministry, jail ministry, and as treasurer before retiring his positions.

devotion to our Lord and Savior as well as his love for others.
