Shawnee L. Flynn

FLYNN, Shawnee Lee (1993-2025)

Shawnee Lee Flynn, 31, of Cape Neddick, Maine, passed away on February 13, 2025, after a courageous two-and-a-half-year battle with a rare form of cancer. Her vibrant spirit and dedication to helping others defined her all too brief life.

A graduate of York High School (2011), Ms. Flynn pursued an extensive education, earning associate degrees in liberal arts, criminal justice, and education, as well as a bachelor's degree in behavioral science. She applied her expertise and compassionate nature as a house manager for developmentally impaired adults, holding certifications as a DSP, CRMA, and in phlebotomy.

Known for her extraordinary selflessness and boundless generosity, Shawnee touched countless lives through her work and personal relationships. Her family often remarked that she had a unique ability to put others' needs before her own, making her an invaluable presence in both her professional and personal life.

She is survived by her fiancé, Kyle Zerbinopoulos; her mother, Diana J. Flynn; siblings Marlaina Malone of Norwich, CT, Bobbi Miller of Portsmouth, NH, Leeann Allen of York, ME, Aaron Flynn of York, ME, and Jamie Flynn of York, ME; and four beloved nieces and nephews: Sean, Aiden, Heaven, and Molly. She was predeceased by her father, Leo A. Flynn.

Friends and family are invited to calling hours on Saturday, March 1st, from 1-4 p.m. at Lucas & Eaton Funeral Home, with a gathering to follow at 7 Libby Lane in Cape Neddick, ME.

Those who knew her say that when looking at the night sky, the brightest star will always be Shawnee, a fitting tribute to a life that shone so brightly.

In lieu of flowers, donations should be made in Shawnee's memory to Caring for a Cure.
