    Shawnee was a friend and companion of mine when we were in the doctoral program at Marquette. Insight and compassion were two of her hallmarks.

    So sad to her about Shawnee. I too knew her from Marquette. She had a beautiful smile, an open heart, and a curious mind. Rest In Peace.

    I learned early this morning of death's visit to our dear friend and colleague Shawnee. She and I have been friends and collaborators on a number of projects over the years. Gratefully, we spoke just a few weeks ago, and I am honored by her writing the "Foreword" to my forthcoming Disability Ethics/Preferential Justice. May she rest in peace.

    Shawnee was a dear friend and colleague. She was a pioneer in addressing women's issues, racism and a host of other intersectional realities. Mt. Mary and her students will miss her very much. May she rest in the arms of God, knowing she has done what was hers to do...

    I had the great honor of directing Shawnee's doctoral dissertation at Marquette. Throughout the years I have been privileged to know Shawnee, I have admired her gifts, her wisdom, her delight and joy in life, her contributions as a pioneer in our field of theological and social ethics, her courage and perseverance amid her health challenges, and most of all, who she was and is -- a remarkable, loving, caring, person - a role model of faith and of living for many, including me. Rest in peace, dear Shawnee.

    I'll always remember Shawnee as committeed to justice, unwilling to be satisfied with the easy or popular argument, generous, kind, and unfailingly hospitable--not to mention active and engaged to the end. I will miss her voice and spirit.

    I love Shawnee and am so grieved at losing her. She radiated joy and justice. I will always remember a moment at a Catholic liturgy at SCE when we were singing "Wade in the Water" and she embodied that song with grace and power. God give us comfort. Shawnee, pray for us.

    I am sad about Shawnee's passing. An insightful mind and a compassionate heart, a five-star member who served the Society generously. I will miss her indeed. May you rest in peace, dear Shawnee.

    I was saddened to learn of Shawnee's passing. I had the pleasure of rooming with her when the CTSA was last held in Puerto Rico. She was delightful--and she was a fireball! As two extroverts, we really hit it off.

    Shawnee will be missed.
