Shawn Lemay Gehlhausen, 60, passed away on Monday, December 4, 2023. The wife of Louis Gehlhausen, Shawn was born October 26, 1963, to the late Stanley and Minnie Thomas Lemay in Lancaster, Kentucky. A registered nurse with St. Joseph Healthcare, Shawn was a natural caregiver who loved to share kindness not only through her profession, but through the gift of blankets. She enjoyed collecting blankets of all kinds and passing the symbol of warmth, comfort, and love to others. Shawn was also passionate about animals. She loved dogs and cats but had a special place in her heart for giraffes. Shopping, listening to country music, and attending concerts were some of her favorite pastimes.
