It is with heavy hearts and profound sadness that we announce the passing of Shanna Dawn Negus, a beloved mother, grandmother, and friend, who peacefully departed this world in her sleep on May 5, 2026, due to health complications. Born on June 3, 1977, in the close-knit community of American Falls, Idaho, Shanna lived a life full of love, laughter, and unwavering dedication to her family. Shanna was the cherished daughter of the late Deborah and Nickolas Tupyi, who instilled in her a deep sense of compassion and resilience. These qualities were evident throughout her life and are the lasting legacy she leaves behind. Shanna was also predeceased by her eldest sister, Nikki, whose memory she lovingly carried with her. A devoted mother, Shanna found her greatest joy in her sons, Nick and Jacob Negus. Her nurturing spirit and indomitable strength were guiding lights to them, offering support and encouragement in all of their endeavors. Shanna’s love extended beyond her immediate family to her adored granddaughter, Reanlly Negus, with whom she shared countless cherished moments that will forever be treasured. Shanna’s life was a testament to the power of kindness and generosity. She was known for her gentle smile and the warmth she exuded, drawing people to her effortlessly. Her home was always open, a haven of comfort for family and friends alike, filled with laughter and an abundance of love.

Though her life was not without challenges, Shanna faced each day with courage and grace. Her resilience in the face of adversity was an inspiration to everyone who had the privilege of knowing her. She embraced each moment, teaching those around her the importance of cherishing every day and holding loved ones close. Shanna's passing leaves a void that will be impossible to fill, yet her spirit will continue to live on in the hearts of those she touched. Her legacy is one of love, strength, and unwavering dedication to family—qualities that her sons and granddaughter will carry forward, ensuring that her memory endures. A private funeral ceremony will be held to honor Shanna’s life, in accordance with her wishes. As her family gathers to celebrate the incredible woman she was, they invite those who knew her to hold her in their hearts and remember her in their own special way. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Shanna's memory to a charity of choice, reflecting her lifelong commitment to helping others. Though Shanna is no longer with us, her spirit will forever illuminate the path of those she loved. May she rest in peace, knowing she was deeply loved and will be dearly missed.
