Shawnie was born on June 23, 1929 in Salt Lake City to Alton Jack and Florence Hicken Kent. She attended East High School and was valedictorian of her class. She attended the University of Utah were she met and later married her eternal companion, Keith Gregory, on June 28, 1948 in the Salt Lake Temple. They have lived in the Canyon Rim area for 54 years.
Shawnie had a great love of music and passed along that love to her children and grandchildren. Keith and Shawnie spent years singing together for many occasions. Their favorite song to sing was "Love One Another."
She was a gifted leader, serving in civic and church callings. She loved children, and Primary service brought her great joy. Her life was blessed with many dear friends.
Along with her husband, Shawnie served in the Salt Lake LDS Temple for 12 years, including five years as an ordinance supervisor. She found great peace working in the Temple.
