Shy was born on September 4, 1958, to John and Margaret (McFadden) Heard in Crane, Texas. She attended Brownwood High School. She worked at Underwoods and Wal-Mart for several years.

She loved animals; she was an avid horse lover. She was a “home remedy vet”, nursing many animals back to health from the brink of death. Shy also was a people person, never meeting a stranger. She was a loving and non-judgmental person. Shy loved her family and spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Her daughter and family were her everything. She took care of her family all the way to the end.
