A multitude of heartfelt tributes have been left for Shauna on RIP.ie with one mourner writing: "So saddened to hear that Shauna has lost her battle. She truly fought with incredible strength and courage right to the very end — never giving in.
An inspirational young lady, and it was a privilege to have cared for Shauna in her earlier years. May she rest in peace".
Another message read: "Shauna is a great sprit she never gave up! I loved chatting to her over the years in SuperValu she was so strong in person and in mind and I am sure that she has done more than most in her short life. I am so sorry to Shauna's family on the loss of such a wonderful girl".
"My deepest sympathy to all Shauna's family and her extended Morrissey family on her very sad passing. She was a beacon of light in her very short life and never gave up hope. I shall miss all the lovely chats and the laughter we had. May you sleep well Shauna and rest in peace" another person said.
Another wrote: "Shauna was such an inspirational woman. She had so many tough times recently but never failed in giving support to others. Such a kind and brave person and she will be forever missed by all. Rest peacefully Shauna, no more pain, watch over everyone".
The requiem mass will take place on Thursday morning in the church of the blessed sacrament in Golden at 11:30am followed by burial in the adjoining cemetery.
May her gentle soul rest in peace.
