Kristen's obituary

Kristen Nicole Wurdack, 40, of St. Louis, Missouri, passed away on March 14, 2026.

Kristen was the beloved mother of Wesley Sheppard; loving daughter of Karen (Giegling) and Richard J. Wurdack; Dear sister of Matthew Wurdack and his wife, Jennifer, and Kaitlyn (Wurdack) Filandrinos and her husband, Andrew. She was a cherished granddaughter of Robert Giegling Sr. (the late Janith) and Lloyd Wurdack (the late Dolores).

She was a proud and loving aunt to Edison and Sofia Wurdack, and a devoted partner to Erick Watkins, cherishing his daughters, CC and Ericka, as part of her family. Kristen was a dear niece, cousin, and friend to many whose lives she touched. She was also a loving dog mom to Grazia, Dunkin, and the late Jax, who brought her endless joy and companionship, especially during her brave battle with breast cancer.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Friends of Kids With Cancer in honor of Kristen.

She will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who knew her.
