Shawn Christina Jean Anderson

On June 28, 2024, the world lost a beloved mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend with the passing of Shawn Christina Jean Anderson. Born on March 17, 1979, Shawn Christina brought warmth and delight to all who knew her during her 45 years of life. Shawn Christina's journey began in New Orleans, La where her joy filled her family's home from the moment she arrived St.Patrick’s Day. Our very own good luck charm. She was a member of Flatirons Community Church in Lafayette, CO and of Full Gospel Church of God in Christ in New Orleans, La. She attended Marie C. Couvent Elementary School, Beauregard Junior High School, Charles J. Colton, Joseph S. Clark High School and Southern University. She participated in the ROTC during her academic career and also served as a member in AmeriCorps. From childhood, she displayed a remarkable kindness and an unwavering determination that shaped her into the compassionate woman she became. Her passion for learning and exploring new ideas and concepts was evident from a young age, which lead her to pursue a career in writing. Beyond her career, Christina found the most happiness in her relationships with her family and friends. She was a pillar of support and a source of endless laughter and wisdom. Christina’s presence could light up a room, and her smile could brighten even the darkest of days. In addition, Shawn Christina was also a devoted foster parent whose nurturing spirit touched countless lives. Over the years, she welcomed many children into her home and heart as a foster mom, providing them with not just a safe haven but also constant support and direction. Christina's passing leaves a void that cannot be filled, but her memory will live on in the hearts of all who were fortunate enough to have known her. She leaves behind her grieving family: her children, Sheldon Anderson and Nathan Davis Anderson; mother, Mildred Anderson; her siblings, Troy, Patrick (Linda), and Donna Anderson; and a host of nieces, nephews, uncles, aunts, cousins, and a wide circle of cherished friends. She was preceded in death by her father, Donald Ray Jackson and brothers Alfred and Donald Anderson. Though Christina's time with us was too brief, her impact on those around her was profound and lasting. She will be remembered for her kindness, her strength of character, and her ability to find joy in every moment. Her spirit will continue to inspire all who were touched by her presence. A celebration of Christina's life will be held at New Orleans Funeral And Cremation Service 9200 I-10 Service Rd New Orleans, LA 70127 on Friday, July 26, 2024, where friends and family will come together to honor her memory.
