Shaina Babb

 **In Loving Memory of Shaina "Kane" Babb**

With heavy hearts, we remember Shaina “Kane” Babb, affectionately known as “Bitty” to her mother because she was itty bitty, passed away on February 20, 2025, at the tender age of 14. She was born on September 17, 2010, in Lawrenceburg, TN, Shaina was a radiant light in the lives of those who had the honor of knowing her.

Shaina's joyful spirit was evident in her love for reading, lost in the pages of countless adventures. She found solace in music, often filling her days with the melodies that resonated with her soul. A true millennial at heart, she adored Facetiming with friends and family. She embraced life with a thrill, whether skateboarding or conquering challenges on her PlayStation. As a devoted fan of Hello Kitty, her playful side shone brightly in all that she did.

Shaina is lovingly remembered by her mother, Elisa Babb; her grandparents, Wayne and Cecilia Babb; her aunt, Andrea Fore; her cousins, Connor Wyatt and Caden Fore; her “aunty,” Lisa Kelley; and her darling puppy, Bambi, affectionately nicknamed “Horrible Adorable.” Each of them hold precious memories close to their hearts as they navigate the world without her.

She is preceded in death by her cousin, Claude Fore, with whom she is now reunited.

A memorial visitation will be held on Saturday, March 1, 2025, from 12:00 pm until 2:00 pm, followed by a service at 2:00 pm. Both will take place at Shackelford Funeral Directors in Waynesboro, TN.

As we come together to honor and celebrate the beautiful life of Shaina, we remember her vibrant spirit and the joy she brought into our lives. In her loving memory, Shaina had a special wish: for all her friends and loved ones to dress in colorful attire, reflecting the brightness she shared with everyone around her.

In honor of their beloved, they kindly ask if you are considering sending flowers, please choose potted or repottable flowers, allowing them to bloom anew and symbolize everlasting love.
