Mindy Shaw
March 18, 1980-January 31, 2022
It was once said "The two hardest things to do in life is saying hello for the first time and goodbye for the last."
Mindy Shaw 41, of Olathe, Kansas, formerly of Mercer County, died January 31, 2022 with her family at her side. Services will be held at the First Christian Church, Keithsburg, IL on February 12th at 11:00 AM. Visitation is from 10:00 AM until time of service. Burial will be in Greenmound Cemetery. Speer Funeral Home is assisting the family. Memorials may be made to the Shaw Family.
Mindy Marie was born on March 18, 1980 in Iowa City, Iowa. She married Bill Shaw in 1998, her best friend since 1994. She was blessed with two sons, a wonderful daughter in law and two grandchildren. The oldest, Buddy (William Shaw Jr) married Samantha Pruett and they have two children, Lane and Riley Jo. Her youngest, Brett Shaw, will always be Mindy's baby.
Mindy worked the last 11 years as a Tax Preparer and in Management at H & R Block in Galesburg and Olathe. She loved planting flowers and gardening, but not so much after she lost her grandmother, Bea. She moved to Kansas in August of 2020 to be closer to her children and grandchildren, her true passion and first love.
Other survivors include: her father, Craig (Lora) Small of Muscatine, IA; 3 Step-sisters: Betsy Banuelos, Jennie Lyn Freiburger and Heather Cozad; her mother, Cindy (Bill) Long, of Washington IA; sisters: Teri Chick-Steinberg and Lesa Garrison-O'Connel; Several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, and cousins, including special niece, Kamryn Chick; mother-in-law Donna Shaw and Brother-in-law Boyd Shaw of Keithsburg, IL. Mindy was preceded in death by her father-in-law Boyd Shaw Sr., grandmother Bea Morris and baby boy Jakob Rian.
