Shawn Cuddeback, age 59, died at her home in Greensboro, GA surrounded by loved ones on May 8, 2016 after a battle with breast cancer. Shawn was born on March 2, 1957 in Knoxville, Tennessee. Always adventurous, Shawn backpacked in Europe, went to college in Switzerland and crewed for the author Stuart Woods on a transatlantic boat trip. She served in the Air Force reserves, earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Lucerne Switzerland and a Bachelor of Science from Georgia State University. Shawn spent her career as a clinical research monitor.

On August 28, 1986 she married the love of her life, Bob, in Atlanta, GA. They enjoyed movies, scuba diving, fly fishing, boating and traveling. Shawn was an avid photographer and used her talents on the many trips they took with friends as well as on a medical mission for Alliance for Smiles in Bangladesh. She loved animals and together they had numerous pets, but she was especially fond of horses. She began to ride as a very young girl and retained a fondness for horses throughout her life.

Thirteen years ago she and her husband moved to Lake Oconee. Their beautiful home was often filled with love and laughter with family and friends. Shawn was loved dearly by all.
