Shana Renee Shirley Ogden, 52, of Bryan, Texas passed away January 26, 2023 peacefully surrounded by family and friends. A graveside service will be held at 2:30 P.M., Sunday, February 5, 2023 at Reliance Baptist Church.

Shana was born in Bryan, Texas on January 16, 1971 to Gregory and Linda Shirley. Shana lived in Bryan within the Reliance Community for most of her life.

Shana's achievements have been rewarded with trophies but by our appreciation of her talent to give every bit of herself in her work, her gatherings, and her contributions to others. Shana truly had a heart bigger than Texas. She was a sister to everyone and often paid forward the blessings she was bestowed with. Shana was a daughter, sister, niece, mom, but she was so proud to become a Nana!

Shana was the life of any gathering with her huge smile and her laugh. She loved to be with her family and friedns and made sure to let them know how much she loved them. Birthdays, Christmas, Valentine's, no matter the occasion, she always had a little gift to give everyone. She always had others in her thoughts and ejoyed making others smile. Shana loved to sing karaoke and she enjoyed riding her motorcycle when she was able to do so.

Shana's motto was: Hugs, Love & Smiles

Shana was diagnosed with ovarian cancer in 2017. As treatments made it harder for her to be too far from home, she found a group of friends in our neighborhood and the "porch pals" were formed. We spent many evenings laughing, crying and helping each other through the things that life threw our way. Every loss and every victory, we supported each other.

Shana has had many struggles in her battle with ovarian cancer over the past six years. Some of that time was spent fighting side by side with her mother who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2020. In 2021, Shana also lost her one and only son, Cameron during her battle with cancer. She still managed to fight her own battle with strength and dignity. Although she has lost her battle, she has truly won the war. She is no longer bound by this worls and the suffering she had endured. Shana has made her final journey HOME and is with her loved ones that have gone before her.

Shana was preceded in death by her son, Cameron Ogden; mother, Linda Shirley; great-niece, Arianna Battelle; and her grandparents. She is survived by the biggest joy in her life, granddaughter, Delilah Ogden; daughter-in-love, Heather Ogden; father, Gregory Shirley; mother-in-love, Hazel Ogden; sister, Marquel Knapp; nephew, Richard Shirley-Salinas (girlfriend, Dealyn Hedger); niece, Elizabeth Knapp; uncles, aunts, cousins and an uncountable number of friends that are considered as family.

Cameron Ogden, 28, of Bryan, passed away on Sunday, September 19, 2021, in Bryan. Visitation will begin at 2 pm, followed by the Life Tribute Memorial Service at 3 pm, Monday, September 27, 2021, both at First Baptist Church Bryan.

Cameron was born in Bryan to Kyle Ogden and Shana Shirley Ogden, on April 27, 1993. He attended Texas State Technical College in Waco, TX where he graduated in 2020. After graduation, Cameron was employed at Texas A&M where he worked as an instrumentation technician in the power plant.

Cameron was a man full of life. He lived and loved with grace and true driven passion. He loved to travel and never missed an opportunity for a road trip. He had the biggest heart, loved his family dearly and considered all of his friend's a part of that family. Cameron's father, Kyle, instilled in him a love for all things sports, music, and Texas A&M from a very early age. If Cameron could throw or catch it, he wanted to be involved. He spent many days running around his childhood neighborhood playing with his buddy's until sundown. In 2015 Cameron met Heather Snow and they began dating, going back and forth between Brenham and Bryan to spend as much time with each other as possible. In 2018 Cameron married Heather and never looked back from creating a beautiful home and life with her. Each year Cameron looked forward to cheering on his fighting Texas Aggies in any and all sporting events. He took so much pride in being a part of the crew at the power plant and working at Texas A&M. Cameron was looking forward to the day he would be able to share this love with his daughter, Delilah Claire, and take her to her first Aggie football game. Cameron will also be remembered as a gifted guitarist and for being one of the biggest Blackberry Smoke fans. He shared this band with anyone he came into contact with and attended as many concerts as possible each year.

He is preceded in death by his grandfather E.J Ogden, grandmother Linda Shirley, and father Kyle Ogden.

Cameron is survived by the love of his life Heather Ogden, soon to be daughter Delilah Claire, fur babies Rosie and Oso, mother Shana Shirley Ogden, grandmother Hazel Ogden, grandfather Gregory Shirley, mother and father in law Scott and Linda Snow, brother in laws Matt and Nathan Snow, and countless other aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends considered to be family.

Obituary:

Don't cry for me.
I will be okay.
Heaven is my home now,
and this is where I'll stay.

Don't cry for me.
I'm where I belong.
I want you to be happy
and try to stay strong.

Don't cry for me.
It was just my time,
but I will see you someday
on the other side.

Don't cry for me.
I am not alone.
The angels are with me
to welcome me home.

Don't cry for me,
for I have no fear.
All my pain is gone,
and Jesus took my tears.

Don't cry for me.
This is not the end.
I'll be waiting here for you
when we meet again.
