Shawn French Obituary
Clintonville - Shawn Tamara French, 48, passed away on August 3, 2019. Shawnee was her preferred name and many called her Aunty Shawnee as she was always taking someone under her wing.

She is survived by her children: Tanisha (Joseph) Christiansen, Torin French; her mother, Rachele French; her aunts and uncles: Kristyn (Rick) Zimmerman, Carlene (Harry) Michalski, and Russell (Debbie) Wanner; her cousins: Deon (Brian) Dey, Tina Lintner, Chad (Shelly) Olson, Derek Wanner, Devon (Nick) Schoenbohm, Dillon Wanner, and Jena Zimmerman. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Philip and Lucille Wanner; and her uncle, Daryl Wanner.
