Fawn was a beautiful person! So kind, selfless and talented. She was a few years older than me, but I remember noticing her happy personality and, of course buying, Girl Scout cookies from her in Fairview. Many prayers of comfort to her family.

We loved Fawn! I worked with her many years. She was such a good teacher to many children. I worked across the hall from her for several years and at Head Start for 20 years. She has such a sweet spirit and a helping heart.we are grateful to have known this special spirit! She talked about going recently buffalo hunting with her father. She wondered if this would be her last hunt. She is now hunting for special spirits to teach her faith promoting lessons to. Rest assured, when we leave this existence’, she will be there to meet us with her smile. We will miss you Fawn Shields!

Dear family I sure appreciated the opportunities to get to know Fawn she is such a fun person to be around. I pray that you will feel comforted. Fawn you were such a blessing to me and many others. When I sit and think about our fun conversations a big smile lands on my face. Your stories kept me entertained for hours. Your adventures were endless and priceless to hear about. My favorite was your laugh in between our conversations. You knew how to heal others physically and even more so spiritually. I love you and will miss you so much! A couple weeks ago I wanted to come give you a hug but didn’t want to interrupt your spiritual prep. So I’m sending you a hug! See you soon my friend!

Fawn was a very good person! She was a good teacher and she loved those kids that she taught! I worked in a classroom next to hers several times. In our conversations I learned about her and her dreams that she had for this lifetime that she was experiencing. She made some of those dreams come true and I was so glad that she did. What a wonderful daughter of God who walked by faith. Fawn you will be missed by your Co workers. I pray for your family at this time, that they may receive comfort and peace. You are a beautiful Lady and my life has been blessed by knowing you.

Dear Uncle Spencer, Aunt Bonnie and cousins,
I’m so very sorry for your loss.
I’ll cherish the wonderful childhood memories spending time with your family during the holidays and at family reunions!
I loved to visit your home in Fairview where we would spend summer days riding bikes and camping in your yard.
Fawn was always so kind, sweet and gentle.
I’m rejoicing she is in heaven with Jesus.
God bless you with His love, peace and assurance at this time.

First of all my sincere condolence to all the family. She loved you all so much. I worked aside her at Head Start. We had a special relationship with many things in common. Among many things I will miss her many adventures I could I could relate to. When we met many years ago I was impressed with the fact she lived in a tipi for a couple of years and made her own buckskin dress. I thought “any white women who is willing to do this” is okay in my book. The old saying is true ” they broke the mould when they made
Fawn Shield. Happy Trails my friend as your return to your Creator. I will miss you dearly.

I met Fawn at Boy Scout camp about 5 years ago. I knew her as happy, loving life and always smiling. She told us about her birds. I remember the time she was repelling and I was climbing and we stopped midway to have a chat. We went on secret adventures at camp and played a few pranks, stole the Ranger and went joyriding, among many other things. I will miss her sweet smile. Rest in Peace sweet Fawn.

I was looking for Spencer and found this obituary. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. The only thing that makes this almost unbearable heartache even remotely bearable is the knowledge she is in such a great place. I would love to hear from you if possible.

Must be the season. I was also looking for my cousin Spencer & came across the obit on the internet. It is sad to hear about the lost of a young person who is active in the community. nevertheless sometimes the Lord has other plans for them and they are called home sooner rather than latter. Sorry for you lost and I hope the season brings you Peace & Joy
