Mary Shepardson is known in Poway for many things being a member of its first City Council, Poway’s first female mayor and a former reporter for the Poway News Chieftain.
Shepardson is also known for being one of Poway’s historians.
While not born in Poway, Shepardson moved to the then-unincorporated community with her parents, David R. and Marion Shepardson, and her brother, Philip Shepardson, in 1949. Born in south Pasadena, Shepardson said her father wanted to be a farmer and the family originally moved to Fallbrook, then Poway’s High Valley neighborhood when Shepardson was 3 years old. After realizing farming would not support the family, her father got his real estate license. “My dad was the peacemaker,” Shepardson said. “My mom was the feisty one.”
