After her family moved home from Omaha they lived with her Unci (Grandma) Sylvia on Tobacco Road. Shayna loved all the simple pleasures; spending time with her Unci at inipi (sweat-lodge), Sundance, driving her, singing, laughing, cooking and sewing.
Spending time with her dad and mom and sister Gracie, she cherished their family time together, so much. She loved to babysit her nieces and nephews and chat with her friends.
