SHANAHAN, Barbara Jean (Graff) –
Barbara’s gentle spirit departed us suddenly this past March, just as the hyacinths started blooming. Her life can best be summarized by the phrase in Acts 20:35. “It is more blessed to give, than to receive.” A tall act to follow over the years, yet she often found a way. Beloved wife of Richard Shanahan for 53 years. Devoted mother of Tracy Amaral (Rick), Wendy and Becky (Cliche) Shanahan. Adored grandmother of Amelia, Zachary, and Joshua Amaral, and Abby and Leah Cliche. Dear sister of Russ (Holly), Carol Youso (late Henry), Ray (late Cindy), Steve (Cathy) Graff. Predeceased by parents Arthur and Bernice Graff, and brothers Paul and Robert Graff. Fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Too many memories to recount, she touched many people in her 75 years. The guiding force in life was her passion for her family and the Catholic church. Like a butterfly in the breeze, a smile and warm heart can travel for miles and continues to flutter. She loved photography, sewing, music, walks in nature, travel, history and so much more. Obstacles and joys alike, she approached life with a steady courage and determination which we continue to learn from in our hearts and minds. May her soul rest in peace. She will be greatly missed.
The family will receive friends and family at Morse & Son Funeral Home-5917 Main St., Niagara Falls, on Saturday April 5, 2025, between 11am and 1pm, with a funeral service to celebrate Barbara’s life to begin at 1pm. Rite of Committal at Fairview cemetery to follow. As an expression of sympathy, those who wish, in lieu of flowers may make a memorial donation to the Canadian Cancer Society. Memories, photos and condolences may be shared at www.morseandson.com
