Shawn Marie Burke Smith

Our friendship begain in 2nd grade at St. Ignatius, continued through high school at the Convent of Mercy and then through college. For years, we would catch up at our annual Christmas party at Mrs. Knauer's and then lost touch. After many years we rekindled our friendship when she moved back to Mobile having lunch and taking long walks. My fond memories will always be close to my heart. May you Rest in Peace my dear friend!
Love,

My heart aches with the news of Shawn's passing. We became friends in 2nd grade at St. Ignatius and rekindled that friendship at Mercy High School. Had many fun back then and then again after she returned to Mobile. Sending my love to her children and all her family.

Too many memories to recount, as I relive them through many tears ...
To Adair, Cori, Doss, and Shawn's dear brothers and sisters, I send you my love through my sadness. ..Linda Zoghby Shepler

Shawn and I were friends during our Convent days. She and Harold Chapman were the Godparents of our son,Christopher. We lost touch over the years but will always remember her.
May God bless her and grant her family peace during difficult time.
