Shauna was a lifelong resident of Youngstown. Her family owned and operated the “Barber Carwash” on the city’s Westside. She made many memories there with her sister, Tarah.  They would spend time with family, hang out and play most of the day. As Shauna grew up playing at the carwash turned to working at the carwash!
