OBITUARY: Shawna Deon Conner

Shawna Deon Conner, 50 years old, of Bon Aqua, TN, passed away December 12, 2025, at TriStar Centennial Medical Center in Nashville, TN.

Born November 19, 1975 in the quaint town of Burns, TN, Shawna’s life was a testament to the love and dedication she showed to everyone around her. Her love for family was the cornerstone of her life. Shawna’s home was a reflection of her personality, adorned with an eclectic collection of gnomes that brought whimsy and delight to all who visited. Each gnome, whether dressed for a holiday or simply adding charm to everyday décor, was chosen with care. Her appreciation for the simpler things in life extended to her love of nature, particularly her fascination with dragonflies and butterflies. Jewelry that showcased these delicate creatures was among her most treasured possessions. Christmas was Shawna’s favorite holiday, a season she celebrated with exuberance and generosity. Purple, a color symbolizing royalty and elegance, was her chosen hue. Shawna made a lasting impact on her community through her work as a grocery store manager at Food Saver in Fairview, TN. Her leadership was characterized by compassion and a selfless desire to support both her colleagues and customers. An avid animal lover, she had a heart that extended to all creatures, great and small. Shawna found solace and happiness in her favorite vacation spots, whether it was the soothing sands of the beach or the majestic vistas of the Great Smoky Mountains. These places were her sanctuary, where she could recharge and revel in the beauty of the natural world. She will be remembered as the epitome of love and selflessness.
