Erin Kay Shaw, age 50, passed away on Monday, September 9th, 2024 due to complications from cancer. She was born December 20th, 1973 in Kansas City, KS to Larry and Annette Shaw. She was a 1992 graduate of Piper High School in Kansas City, KS and went on to get her associates degree from Johnson County Community College.
Erin’s pride and joy was her 12-year-old daughter McKenna Kay. Erin enjoyed taking McKenna to dance, gymnastics, swimming, and voice lessons to name a few. Erin's most recent hobby was making beautiful beaded bracelets.
Erin left us too soon and will be dearly missed by her family and friends. She fought long and hard with multiple medical issues most of her life and fought even harder to beat cancer which ultimately was complicated by pneumonia that she just didn’t have the strength to overcome.
She is survived by her daughter, McKenna Kay Shaw; her father and mother, Larry and Annette Shaw; her sister, Amy Walters and brother-in-law, Tom Walters; her nephew, Brendan (Amber) Marshall; her niece Riley Marshall; and her brother-in-law, Lee Marshall.
Family, friends and others whose lives Erin touched are invited to join us in celebrating her life at Chapel Hill-Butler Funeral Home at 701 N. 94th Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66112 for visitation from 1:00 – 2:00 pm and funeral service at 2:00 pm on Monday September 16. 2024. Erin will be laid to rest in Chapel Hill Memorial Gardens where she will join her grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins who have gone before.
