Shayna Jo Dubois

Shayna Jo Dubois, 31 entered this world on February 21, 1991. She began her heavenly journey on February 24, 2022.

Shayna was born in Devils Lake, ND the daughter of Elaine Robinson and the late Dale Dubois. Not long after Shayna was born, Elaine and Shayna’s older sister Kayla, moved to Grand Forks ND where Shayna attended her early years of school, later graduating from Beach High School in 2009.  While living in Grand Forks, Jamey Jetty came into Shayna’s life and a special bond was formed. She considered Jamey as her father.

Shayna’s time was spent at gymnastics, participating in athletic activities and family outings.  Shayna enjoyed listening to music, riding horseback, camping, swimming and simply hanging out with friends and family.

Although Shayna struggled with addiction, she was always a proud mother and loved spending time with her children; Audrina Cavanaugh (age 9), Dale Dubois (age 4- father Chris Cavanaugh Jr.) and Zane Dubois (age 2) who is lovingly taken care of by Mr. and Mrs. Richard Cavanaugh. Shayna’s precious children brought so much joy to her life. They were always the bright spot, the happy times of her life.
