Shauna Groberg Ross Obituary (1977 - 2011)

Shauna Groberg Ross 1977 - 2011 SYRACUSE - Shauna Ross, loving mother, wife, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed away peacefully in her home, in the arms of her husband, following a long, courageous fight with breast cancer. Shauna was born on February 10, 1977, in Ogden, Utah, to Kenneth R. and Linda Groberg. Shauna was the fourth of five children, and loved her family dearly. She graduated from Northridge High School and Weber State University. On April 10, 2002, she was married and sealed in the Salt Lake Temple to her sweetheart, Jeffrey Ross. It was just months into their marriage when Shauna was diagnosed with Breast Cancer, and her long battle with that disease began. During this time, they were blessed with their miracle baby girl, Olivia, and Shauna knew her purpose in life was to be a mother. A year after Olivia was born, it was discovered the cancer was terminal, and it was from this time forward where Shauna taught us how to live with faith and passion, to love life, and each other, amidst adversity. Shauna was a faithful member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and served lovingly as a Young Women's Leader and a Primary Teacher. She loved working with and teaching the children and youth of the church. She had a strong testimony of Jesus Christ, and knew her purpose in life. She had a bright personality and energy that lit up a room whenever she entered. She had the unique ability to make life-long friendships with people in a matter of minutes, and had a true gift of making people feel welcome and relaxed whenever she was around. She lived her life with amazing faith and optimism. Shauna loved to bake, the outdoors, boating and camping, style and fashion, especially helping others' look and feel their best, health and fitness, reading, socializing, traveling, surprises, her friends, and above all, she loved being a wife and mother. She is survived by her husband Jeffrey, daughter Olivia, parents; Kenneth R. and Linda, brother; Ron (Chalese) Groberg, sisters; Denise (Ken) Ashby, Cindy (Derek) Campbell, and Melinda (Bryce) Bishop, and her father and mother in-law, Glen and Colleen Ross.
