It is with great sadness that we announce the
passing of our dear daughter, Shauna Marie
Kennedy, on October 28, 2024, at the young
age of 53. She passed away peacefully,
surrounded by loving family.
Born in Calgary, Alberta, on May 6, 1971, she
grew up on an acreage south of Okotoks,
Alberta, surrounded by an assortment of
farm animals. She especially enjoyed her
horse, Ponka.
After graduating from Alberta College of Arts,
she was an active member of the arts society
in Calgary. Eventually, she moved to Montreal,
Canada, where she resided and gave birth
to her children, Lucien Chavez and Theo
Chavez. Upon the diagnosis of breast cancer,
she returned to Alberta, where she had
family support.
Shauna was a dedicated member of the
McDougall United Church, serving as the
communications coordinator and actively
participating in the community’s witness to
reconciliation on our rights relations outreach
group. Her work and presence will be deeply
missed. Shauna Kennedy is survived by her
loving family, including her parents, Alvin and
Mary Kennedy, brother, David Kennedy, and
children, Lucien Chavez and Theo Chavez,
along with numerous Aunts, uncles, cousins
and second cousins.
The family wishes to express their profound
gratitude to Dr. Nirma, Alimohamed, and Dr.
Michelle Cunningham for their unwavering
support and exceptional care of Shauna.
Funeral Service will be held 1 pm on November
8th, 2024, at McDougall United Church
8516 Athabasca Street SE, Calgary. AB.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to
the cancer society.
