During her vibrant life, Shawn was blessed with the joy of being a parent to two children, Magen James-Phillips (spouse Christopher Phillips) and Jesse James (spouse Erin McDonald). As a mother, Shawn was a constant source of love and support, always putting her children's needs above her own.

In addition to being a loving mother, Shawn was overjoyed to become a grandmother. Six grandchildren Rinlee James, Lexii Phillips, Krislynn Phillips, Jesse Ryder James, Madii Phillips and a new baby boy expected in October. These grandkids brought immeasurable happiness into her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them.
