On February 10, 2026, our community was shaken by the tragic events at the school in Tumbler Ridge. In an unimaginable act of violence, Shannda lost her life, leaving behind her loving husband, her two children, and countless family members, friends, coworkers, and students whose lives she touched every single day.

Shannda was a devoted wife, a proud and loving mother, a caring friend, and a deeply valued member of this community. She carried warmth, patience, and compassion wherever she went. She was the kind of person who showed up for others, offered comfort without hesitation, and gave her love freely.

Now, her family is facing the unthinkable.

Alongside overwhelming grief, they are also faced with funeral and memorial costs, household expenses, and the painful reality of moving forward without the heart of their family.

We are coming together to raise funds to support them in this devastating time. The donations received will help cover funeral and memorial arrangements, immediate living expenses, and allow the family the time and space they need to grieve without added financial pressure.

If you are able, please consider donating. If you cannot, sharing this fundraiser means just as much. Every act of kindness, every dollar, and every share helps wrap this family in the love of a community that cares deeply for them.

Most importantly, we ask that you keep Shannda’s husband, children, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate a loss that words cannot fully express.

Thank you for standing with them.
