Shauna Rebecca Gilbert
1935 - 2018
Shauna Rebecca Gilbert peacefully passed away on May 11, 2018, in Provo, Utah, to begin her new adventure on the other side of the veil. Shauna was an original. She was a strong woman and had strong beliefs and opinions. She was blessed with great humor. She loved puns, clever humor, and could always make her loved ones laugh. She was a fierce and loyal friend and her friends were very loyal to her. Shauna had a remarkable ability to listen and give counsel. She did not judge and people always felt comfortable around her. She especially loved children and they were drawn to her, often singing and sharing laughter together.
She was born September 29, 1935, in Bluffdale, Utah, to John and Celestia Geneva Frost Gilbert. She was the fourth of eight children and was often the center of her large extended family as a favorite aunt and sister.
After graduating from high school in Roosevelt, Utah, Shauna attended beauty school in Salt Lake City and delighted in cutting and styling her siblings’ hair. She later attended Brigham Young University.
An active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Shauna served in various capacities during her lifetime. Her conviction to the gospel of Jesus Christ was evident in her words and actions.
Along with the gospel and her family and friends, music and the arts were her great love. She was an accomplished pianist and organist; she played beautifully and used this talent to serve others with piano solos, accompanying soloists, choirs, and congregations. She played for countless weddings, funerals, and some theatrical plays as well. In her later years, when her memory started to fade, her ability to play never left her.
Shauna was generous to a fault. She especially had empathy for the disadvantaged as well as those in need and helped in any way possible. She welcomed people into her home when they needed a place to stay, sometimes for a day, sometimes several months. A close friend of hers recently commented that she was the kindest, most generous person she knew.
She loved beautiful things and had a knack for decorating and making her home beautiful as well as comfortable and welcoming. She was a wonderful cook and liked to entertain. Many family gatherings and holidays were enjoyed at her home. She studied health measures and there was often a container of wheat grass growing somewhere in her house, as well as the scents of essential oils wafting through the air.
In her working life she was a secretary, typesetter, a fastidious proofreader, transcriber and excellent typist. She typed several books and personal histories both in her employment and as a volunteer.
She married Cecil Lavern Kofford in 1958, later divorced. In 1972 she married Louis Obradovich. These marriages both took place in California. Her marriage to Lou was a happy one but eventually due to religious differences they divorced but parted as dear friends. She returned to Utah and made her home in Provo for several years. About 1995 she moved to Roosevelt, Utah and six years later she returned to Provo where she resided until her death, except for two years when she was a resident of Coventry Assisted Living in Salt Lake. In 2015, her son Jon moved her to Legacy Memory Care in Provo where she would have more access to family.
She had one son, Jon Frost Duringer, and five beautiful grandchildren: Jayme, Kelly, Atilla, Jacob Nobunaga and Athena Geneva Duringer. Shauna loved them deeply and put in the time to develop close relationships with each one and was greatly loved in return.
Besides her son and grandchildren, survivors include her siblings: Renae (Lyn) Miller, Provo; Maurine (Arvin) Bellon, American Fork; Sherrie (Charles “Pete”) Burdick, Duchesne; Jean (Richard) Carlson, Henderson NV; Tenna (Kitt) Herman, Carson City NV; and two sisters-in-law: Emma Rae (Byron) Gilbert, Provo; and Sally (Jack Frost) Gilbert, St. George. Her parents and her two brothers, Byron and Jack Frost, preceded her in death.
