Shawna was an avid animal and bird lover. If given the opportunity she would have taken in any stray animal that would cross her path. She loved feeding the local birds, chipmunks and squirrels and sitting for hours watching them to the point that she literally would have them eating out of her hand.

She worked most of her life as an LNA in numerous nursing homes and home care facilities. She was also employed as a bus driver for special needs students out of Lowell. She always had a special place in her heart for those less fortunate and did everything in her power to help whoever crossed her path.
