Shana was a beautiful, passionate, and energetic soul who loved deeply. She loved God, her family, her precious devoted friends, and her church family at Welcome Hill. She was a talented artist passionate about art. She shared her love of art with her students in Couch, Thayer, Mammoth Spring, and her most special place Highland school districts, where she taught for more than twenty years and made so many special memories and friends. She loved to work in her gardens, entertain friends and travel, until she could no more. She was fierce. She battled four brain tumors over the past twenty years and she beat every one. Even the last one, she won, for she will see Heaven. Strength and Honor were her clothing, and she will rejoice in the time to come. Prov. 31:25
