My husband Tim and I were profoundly saddened to hear of Shana’s death.
We became acquainted with her at Benvenue Country Club where she was always friendly and helpful. We loved seeing her smiling face when we came in the door.
Shana also helped us by feeding our backyard birds when we were away. We could always count on her.
Again, we are terribly sorry for the loss of Shana and send our sincere sympathy to her family.
May she rest in peace.

Our family knew Shana from Benvenue Country Club. She was so pleasant to talk with and we enjoyed seeing her smiling face. My fondest memory is the year Shana dressed up as the Easter Bunny at Easter Brunch. She welcomed all the kids and seemed to have a good time herself. Much love and prayers to Shana’s family.

Shana you were an enthusiastic, independent, and kind young lady. You really worked hard to achieve whatever you set your mind to accomplish. You were an inspiration and my girls and I will definitely miss you. Your mother and siblings will always be apart of my family. Rest well young lady and God has your family and friends.
