Shyanne Rose Donahue

Shyanne Rose Donahue, 28, went home to be with the lord at her Nokesville home on Thursday, June 13th,2019. Shyanne had a contagious laugh and could light up any room that she entered. She was constantly cracking jokes and bringing a smile to her family and friends. As well as her amazing bright personality, she had many ambitions and dreams. At 10 years old she received the Daughters of the American Revolution award. At a young age of 13 her mother was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer and she decided she wanted to become a doctor. In 9th grade she was lettered for varsity softball, and she didn’t stop there. At 15 she was accepted into a summer medical internship at Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins. In her spare time, she was an avid softball player and had a true love for the game. She was very adamant about finishing her education and working towards her career. At just 16 years old she graduated from Brentsville District High School a year early, to pursue her dreams of becoming a doctor. She went on to receive a Bachelors Degree of Science and Chemistry from VCU. Besides her Bachelor’s Degree, she also received a degree in Substance Abuse Counseling as that was her true passion coinciding with the Shane Donahue Foundation. In the recent years her main goal was to make a difference within the community and educate people on addiction. Shyanne continued to help others by donating her organs at the time of her death. She will be missed dearly, but we will finish what she started. The devastation our family has endured with Shane being missing is something that no family should ever have to know. With that being said, Shyanne worked so hard with the Shane Donahue Foundation it consumed her, but the not knowing was harder. She could no longer deal with the heartache and pain that overwhelmed her, and the depression she suffered. She is now reunited and at peace with Shane in heaven, and that is the thing that gives our family the most comfort. Survivors include her loving parents Brian and Donna Donahue, brother Shawn Donahue, as well as extended family and friends. She was preceded in death by her loving brother and best friend Shane Donahue. The family will receive friends from 6:00-9:00pm on Monday June 24th, at Pierce Funeral Home in Manassas, VA. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, June 25th, at Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Manassas, VA with internment to follow at Sacred Heart Cemetery In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Shane Donahue Foundation (via paypal – shanedonahuefoundation@gmail.com) (by mail- P.O.
