Shauna had 3 children Shawn, Codie, and Cassie, 9 grandchildren, and 5 great-grandchildren. Shauna worked at Geneva Steel for some time. She even tried her hand in the medical field and became a Phlebotomist but seemed to always fall back on her passion driving 18-wheelers. Long haul or construction, it didn’t matter as long as she was shifting gears down the highway. She loved it so much she became a driving instructor at Utah Valley State College and third-party tester for the state. She took pride in everything she did, she had to retire around 2015 due to heath issues. Shauna had a passion and great love for horses, barrel racing and training horses, she also loved her little fur babies Izzy, Fefe, and Sandy. Shauna met the love of her life Grant Ford in 1989 after years of chasing each other they finally married in 1995 and shared their love and passion for horses and their combined families. They traveled thousands of miles together throughout the United States barrel racing and rodeoing with the kids. Although their marriage did not stand the test of time they have always remained the best of friends. Shauna has always had the biggest heart and inherited many kids that she called her own, she had many friends who loved and adored her.
