Shawn LARSEN Obituary

Published by Calgary Herald from May 15 to May 16, 2018.

LARSEN, Shawn
June 5, 1981 – Edmonton, Alberta
May 11, 2018 – Calgary, Alberta
A beautiful light has too quickly and unexpectedly left our world. Shawn Larsen passed away on Friday, May 11, 2018 at the age of 36. Shawn walked this earth with grace, humour, beauty, and creativity. She deeply touched those privileged enough to share her journey. For many years Shawn was a single mother, bearing the responsibility of two young boys solely on her shoulders and recently shared that responsibility with her loving partner, Bradley. Tiane and Noa Larsen, now 10 and 7 years old respectively, will face a world without their beautiful, caring, and fiercely loving mother. Shawn leaves behind her heartbroken family, her two amazing sons Tiane and Noa; partner Bradley Turner; her mother, Laura Boyd and her husband Frank; her father Brian Larsen and his wife Sarah; her sister Breanna Larsen and fiancée Damien Kelly; her brother Nathan Larsen and his partner Emily Newman; her other two siblings Georgina and Nick; her loving grandmother Vivi-Ann Meyer; her grandfather Clifford Larsen; as well as numerous beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and dear friends. A gathering will be held at Deane House (806 9 Avenue S.E. Calgary, AB) today at 2:00 p.m. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com. If friends so desire, memorial tributes may be made directly to a special fund – Tiane & Noa c/o Valentina Sokolov, CIBC, Box 2585, 309 – 8th Avenue S.W., Calgary, AB T2P 2P2. In living memory of Shawn Larsen, a tree will be planted at Fish Creek Provincial Park.

I recently found out about her passing. I remember about 5 years ago, Tiane and I went to the same school, Raymer Elementary. I truly hope that I can one day talk with them again.

I am just learning of Shawn's passing and remember fondly, sharing the family tree with her just 2 summers ago. She showed such an interest. This is such a shock, and my sincere condolences are with you all.

I was so sorry to hear about Shawn's passing. As Tiane's grade 3 teacher, I met with Shawn many times and through our conversation it was obvious that she loved and cared for her sons very much. My deepest condolences to your family.

Dear Tiane, Noa, Laura and extended family,
My heart is broken for you all. As a past principal at Colonel Walker School, I remember meeting Laura as she assisted Shawn's relocation to Calgary. I was so excited when I finally got to meet Shawn and welcome Tiane and Noa to the school. My thoughts are with you as you navigate this tragic loss. May you find strength in one another and reflect often upon Shawn's beauty as you see it reflected through your own lives.
