Shana was born on February 20, 1999, in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, daughter of Shane and Lisa (Chavez) Bowers. She attended Washington High School in Cedar Rapids and was really eager to succeed in life. Shana loved taking photos, baking, shopping with her mom, playing volleyball, fishing, camping and anything outdoors. She also loved spending time with children and hanging with her “squadies.” Shana was known to be witty and always had something funny to say. In the short time she was here, she impacted many people’s lives and would sacrifice her own needs for the needs of others. If you didn’t have a smile she would give you hers.
