Shauna and Ken lived and raised their children in New Ulm, MN, where Shauna managed their home and dedicated herself to her family. She volunteered her time at her childrens' school and with the Brown County Humane Society. Following Ken's passing, Shauna moved to Plymouth, MN, where she made great friends and became a grandmother.

Shauna was a kind and gentle soul who loved being a mother and grandmother. She enjoyed the company of her pets spending time at the lake up north, and being in nature.
