Shawn Renee Summitt
November 5, 1971 – December 17, 2024
Shawn Renee Summitt (Briner), a beloved wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, passed away on December 17, 2024, at the age of 53. Her radiant presence, boundless kindness, and vibrant spirit touched the lives of everyone she met.
To her family, Shawn was the heart of their world—a source of strength, laughter, and unconditional love. She had a unique ability to brighten any room and lift any spirit, always radiating the warmth of the sun. She is survived by her husband, Jeffrey “Jeff” Summitt; her three children Alyssa Holland (Chip), Jeffrey Hendricks (Tyler) and Lauren Summitt (John); her two cherished grandchildren Landon and Brooklyn; her siblings Sharon Briner-Hewston (Pete), David Briner Jr (Susan), Jill Warner (Tony), Jacqueline Butts (Gary); and several nieces, nephews, and two great-nephews who will forever treasure her memory.
Shawn was preceded in death by her parents, Susan Ann Hardin-Criswell and David Briner, dedicated stepdad Roy “Jack” Criswell, and others who undoubtedly welcomed her home with love.
Services to celebrate Shawn’s life will be held on Sunday, December 29th at 2pm at Portland Christian Church. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you learn to walk in her footsteps-spread kindness and live each day like it’s your last.
Shawn’s laughter, strength, and light will live on in the hearts of all who knew her.
“Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for those who are gracious and compassionate and righteous.” Psalm 112:4

My mother is a beautiful person and while I am lost in my grief, I am thankful she’s with her mother now. I see her everywhere I go and I know she’s with me. I will miss her forever.
When she left this world, it wasn’t goodbye. I will see her at home one day.

She was alway so sweet, kind, and so loving. Shawn had the warmest smile!
She was devoted to her Family, her beloved 3 children, and Grandchildren who she adored..
Shawn was very close to her siblings, Sharon Lee, and their younger brother David. She and her Twin sister Sharon Lee shared a unique bond as Twins do, they cherished each other. Shawn will be missed by Sharon Lee, (Chris’) children, Emilee, Ethan and Grace.
Prayers of comfort are offered up for Shawn’s Loved Ones, her Family, her Aunts, Uncles and Nieces, Nephews and Cousins left to hold close the sweetest of memories of Shawn who they was loved deeply.
