Shanna was such a beautiful person. My heart is broken. Praying for peace for her family and friends. Love you Shanna.
I worked with Shanna at Sprint. She always brought a positive attitude to everything she did. She was such a pleasure to work with, and will deeply miss her bubbly personality. My thoughts and prayers to her friends and family
I am so completely sad right now in hearing this news. I feel like I just talked to Shanna, but it’s likely been longer than I thought.
We have been long time work friends at Sprint. I will miss her here at work and personally as someone who was always the best.
Words seem inadequate to express the sadness I feel about the loss of Shanna. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.
Deepest sympathy,
I worked for many years with Shanna at Sprint and she was one of my favorite people. My heart is sad and I will miss her dearly.
I am so very sorry for your loss. Shanna was a great person and I got to know her when I swam at the YMCA..I also worked there and we had some great talks…. she will be missed…. In Love and prayers
I worked with Shanna for many years and am so saddened by news of her passing. I saw her when she was here last and she was so full of life and joy. My prayers and sympathies to her family.
One beautiful person in every way,outside and within” she will be missed!
Shanna is too funny and beautiful and full of life and cool and quirky to be gone. I am remembering all the different ways she made a big impact on my life. Half the furniture in my house was picked out by Shanna, who had a wonderful artistic eye. She was one of the first people to meet my husband, and one of the first I told when we learned we were having our first baby. She designed our wedding invites and went through an elaborate, highly confusing process to get them right. Shanna was devoted to her dogs and liked them much better than just about anyone. Those dogs were so lucky. I liked them a lot too. I remember long boring days at Sprint where the only fun part was getting ridiculous IM’s from Shanna. She could keep a joke going for days and keep making it funnier. She was so warm and smart, and saw the world differently than the rest of us did. When we all did vision boards together, Shanna created a black and white work of art while the rest of us slapped stuff we wanted on a poster board. Shanna did not know how to fake her way through things. She was always quintessentially herself, and I admired her passion and integrity so much. The phrase ‘lit up a room’ could have been invented for Shanna. You could not miss her vibrant beautiful energy and from the moment I met her, I wanted to be her friend. I count myself lucky to have gotten the chance to know Shanna and be her friend. There are so many devoted friends of Shanna who love her. We got each other through so many big things, both bad and good.
How could there be a world without Shanna? We are in shock and are trying to understand how the world will go on without Shanna in it. We are heartbroken and send our love and condolences to her family. Love you, beautiful girl. Rachel

Shanna was such a warm person. She was an incredibly talented coworker who was always so supportive on the many projects we worked on together. My thoughts are with her family. She will be missed.
I am so sorry to hear this. I worked with Shanna at Sprint and she was always such a joy to work with. I send her family and close friends my sincerest condolences.
I can’t believe she is gone. She had turned into one of my best friends. We met each other at the Y. We worked together a lot teaching swim lessons and life guarding. We would go kayaking together, go out after work, and have movie nights. She always knew how to make me laugh and I always had a smile on my face after all of our conversations. She always talked about her love for animals especially her two dogs Charlie and Dublin. She had the best advice and was a huge inspiration to me. She had the most upbeat attitude and was very spontaneous. She always told me I was going places in life and had so much faith in me. I still have the card she got me on my last day it said “You are made of Wonderful” those words got me through some tuff times and they always made me think of Shanna. I am going to miss our phone conversations and our random text messages. She was a great and beautiful person and I am going to miss her so much!
Shanna and I were cube neighbors for sometime at Sprint. She was a fun neighbor with great style. It was heartbreaking to hear about her death.
I pray that God will comfort you during this sorrowful time. (Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. Matthew 5:4)
I recently heard the news that my friend is gone. I just saw her, she was so boisterous and so animated, as was her normal disposition. It’s so hard to reconcile that mood with her ongoing struggle with depression. One thing that is clear though is that I’m grateful for having known her. I’ll miss you so much, Shanna. Thank you for being my friend.
Shanna was one of the most caring, compassionate, vibrant & creative people who touched others. We worked together & used to visit the Flower Farm- going this weekend in remembrance of all the beauty she was so fond of there & especially the immense beauty that we all saw in her. She will be missed by many.
So very sorry for your loss of Shawna. I remember her in school as a happy beautiful billant young girl. Our hearts are heavy along with many others.
God bless!
I am so incredibly sadden to hear of Shanna’s passing. I worked with Shanna at Sprint. I loved her enthusiasm, positive attitude, and personality. She was always so very helpful and so knowledgeable. I will miss you Shanna. My thoughts and prayers to her friends and family.
I am incredibly heartbroken. Shanna was so kind, supportive, and positive — a bright light during a transitional time in my life. She was absolutely beautiful inside and out.

Shanna is an amazing and beautiful person inside and out. She was always there for others no matter big or small. Her presence and always smiling face was and always will be electrifying and brought joy to others. It is so hard to write this and took so long to be able to because she will be so missed…but know she is always smiling and giggling where she is today. You will always be loved and never forgotten. We love you. Amanda and Trevor
