Shauna is survived by her husband of 17 years, Nicholas Charles Trierweiler of 329 Cross Rd., in Sheffield. Shauna is also survived by her loving family: her mother, Carolyn Henson-Smith of Ventura County, Calif.; her sister and brother-in-law, Katherine and Will Fortney of Tullahoma, Tenn.; and Katherine and Will’s children, Brenden Eccles, Taylor Eccles, Zachary Eccles, and Kaylee Fortney.

Shauna was predeceased by her dearly cherished father, William “Bill” Smith; her grandparents, Marvin and Bonnie Smith; her dearly loved “Granny,” Leylon Elizabeth Hale; and her sister-in-law, Brenda Phillips.
A truly family-oriented person, nothing in the world was more important to Shauna than the loyal and meaningful connections to them.
Shauna was well-known as an avid animal lover, rescuer, and enthusiast. She loved her work at various local veterinarians, brightening and welcoming all creatures big and small. Along with her animals, family and friends were her greatest passion. Creating a beautiful home and a lover of art and music—her emotional connection to all was unlimited.
