Shea Condry Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Shea cherished her children, both those she gave birth to as well as the many she taught as an elementary school teacher. She loved and touched countless students throughout her teaching career which she loved, most recently teaching at Bean Station Elementary in Grainger County.
She was welcomed in heaven by her father Randy Seals; her uncle Phil; and her grandparents Jake and Kathy Steele.
She is survived by her husband of 24 years, Shawn Condry; her children Jade and Jake; mother Donna (Ricky) Keck; siblings Shelby and Paden; and a host of nieces, nephews, and cousins to whom she was their beloved "Aunt Sissy."
A Celebration of Shea's life is being planned by the family and will be held at a later date.

Shea Condry was one of the strongest women I´ve known. The way she cared for her family and students amazed me. She knew how to work hard and play hard. Her laughter echoed down the hallway and she made me belly laugh daily! I am blessed to have had her as my teammate. Jade and Jake, keep hold of these memories. I´ll be praying for you both.

Yesterday
Mrs. Condry was one of the best teachers I have ever had at Grace Christian Academy. She taught fifth grade math and science when I attended her class in 2016-2017. She would make her curriculum fun by creating acronyms and finding school house rock videos and songs on the topics she taught. I also remember at the beginning of class, she would put memes of Grumpy Cat on the board as a way to lighten everyone's moods.
Fifth grade was the first year of attending Grace Christian Academy, and I remember being so reluctant to talk to hardly anyone. With this, recess was possibly the worst. Instead of trying to make me mingle, she actually understood that I was so reluctant to do so and would allow me to sit with her.
In the classroom, she allowed me to show the class a concept called "touch math," and she was quite impressed. She was so impressed that she insisted that everyone else uses it.
Another part to her that I was also quite impressed with is how she would hold students accountable for their actions, as she seemed to not let any bullying slide, no matter if their relatives are above her.
She has helped me get through fifth grade to where I can take myself the rest of the way, and she will be ever in our hearts. God bless her dearly.

Thank you for everything, Mrs. Condry. For the light and laughter you brought me when I needed it so badly. P.S. I have never misspelled "frankfurter" again in almost a decade now. You made a difference in me. Thank you for believing in me when I didn´t.

Shea came into my life in 2005 when my sister and I became neighbors with her mom, Donna, and close friends with her children, Jade and Jake. From that time on, they all became a second family to us. Shea touched our lives in countless ways from taking us to concerts and vacations, to teaching me to ride a horse, to filling our days with laughter and joy. As a little girl, I often looked at her and thought she was exactly the kind of woman I wanted to be when I grew up beautiful, spirited, funny, kind, and truly a force to be reckoned with. She had such a special way of making every moment brighter. I will always cherish the memories we shared and the love she so freely gave. To her family, you are in my constant thoughts and prayers.

Shea taught my daughter in 3rd and 4th grade at GCA. Abby absolutely loved being in her class and she made a difference in her life. She taught her Math in a way she could completely understand it. We will be praying for your family during this time of grief and will remember the impact she had on so many lives!
