Shantell Rosario Obituary
Shantell Rosario, a loving mother, daughter, and sister, passed away tragically on November 5, 2025, at the age of 34. Born on November 26, 1990, Shantell's bright light was extinguished far too soon due to an act of domestic violence. Her untimely passing leaves a profound void in the hearts of all who knew and loved her.
Shantell was known for her enduring strength, her vibrant spirit, and her deep devotion to her family. To those who loved her, she was a fairy, spirited, and full of a light that made every room brighter. Her laughter was contagious, her heart was generous, and she carried a warmth that uplifted everyone around her.
Her greatest joy and legacy are her four beloved children: David lll, Mariana, Cayda, and Nakoma. She lived every day to provide them with love, security, and a future full of possibility.
Shantell is preceded in death by her grandfather, William Quinn, and her grandmother, Carol Berres.
She is survived by her devoted and loving mother, Kimberly Rosario, and her father, Joseph Rosario. She also leaves behind three sisters who will forever cherish her memory: Patricia Schroeder, Rosalie, and Tonya Rosario. Her absence will be deeply felt by her nieces-Mara, Riah, Chloe, and Quinn-and nephews-Ryker and Skodre-as well as her grandparents Jose Rosario and Maria Estrada, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.
A memorial service will be held at Bradshaw Funeral & Cremation Services, located at 1078 Rice St, Saint Paul, MN 55117, with the service beginning at 2:00 PM.
If you'd join us in wearing purple, her favorite color, we would be honored as we come together to celebrate her life and spirit.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to a fund supporting her children or to a local domestic violence awareness and prevention organization.
