In Loving Memory of Tawnyrae Shook
Franklin Township, Pa. — With profound sadness and heavy hearts, the community of Unityville and all who knew and loved her are mourning the heartbreaking loss of Tawnyrae Shook, a vibrant 33-year-old whose life was tragically cut short in a devastating crash in Lycoming County.
On a wintry afternoon, as snow and ice covered the winding roads near Lairdsville, Tawnyrae was traveling north along German Road. Navigating a downward-sloping curve, her vehicle slid on the treacherous surface, causing her 2021 Kia Seltos to leave the roadway and strike a tree near Bombay Road. Despite the swift response of emergency crews and her transport to UPMC Williamsport, Tawnyrae sadly passed away at 4:19 p.m., as confirmed by the Lycoming County Coroner’s Office. She was wearing her seatbelt, a reminder that even the greatest precautions cannot always shield us from life’s most painful moments.
Today, Tawnyrae is remembered not for the circumstances of her passing, but for the beautiful way she lived. She was a woman with a warm spirit, a genuine heart, and a presence that brought comfort, laughter, and love into the lives of those fortunate enough to know her. Whether sharing moments with family, offering kindness to friends, or simply brightening a room with her energy, Tawnyrae had a way of making the world feel just a little lighter.
Her sudden departure leaves a void that words cannot fully express. For her family, her friends, and the Unityville community, the grief is immense. Yet in the sorrow, there is also deep gratitude—for the memories she created, the joy she shared, and the lasting impact she leaves behind.
In times of loss, we are reminded of life’s fragility and the importance of cherishing every moment with those we hold dear. Tawnyrae’s life, though far too brief, was filled with meaning, love, and connection. Her memory will continue to live on in the hearts of all who knew her, becoming a source of strength, comfort, and inspiration.
May her family find peace in the days ahead, and may Tawnyrae Shook rest gently in eternal light.
