Shawn was married to Rodney Allen Morgan for many years, and they remained lifelong friends. She had three children with him that were her pride and joy and the center of her universe. Shawn was an amazing Mother who always put her children first and was the heart of our family.

She was the definition of strength and compassion and a true Legend. Shawn was loved by many, she will leave behind a legacy of kindness, unconditional love, selflessness, and strength. “Put your Big Girl Panties on and Deal with it” were her words to live by. She will be deeply missed, but her legacy will bloom eternally in the hearts of those she has left behind. She was a beacon of light to all she met; her essence lit up the room the minute she walked in.
