Shawn M.

House

Shawn M. House, 69, of Niagara Falls, NY, passed away peacefully at her residence on November 8, 2026. Born in Lewiston, NY, she was the daughter of the late Charles and Genevieve (Kloosterman) Mahoney.

Shawn was a graduate of Madonna High School and earned her Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from Niagara University. A longtime member of the Ladies' Ancient Order of Hibernians, Shawn shared a special devotion to Father Nelson Baker and held her faith and charitable spirit close to her heart throughout her life.

Shawn found great joy in baking, gathering with family and friends, and creating warm memories with those she loved most. She never passed up an opportunity to enjoy an ice-cold Pepsi. She was brutally honest, yet endlessly kind, caring, and thoughtful. At times stubborn, she was also fiercely loyal and selfless, always putting the needs of others before her own. Shawn had a remarkable way of taking care of everyone around her, offering guidance, support, and unconditional love whenever it was needed. She will also be remembered for her quick wit and great sense of humor.

She is survived by her beloved daughter, Alexandra (Daniel) Woodhouse; her siblings, Kathy (Mark) Illig, Kevin (Laurie) Mahoney, Susan Mahoney, Colleen (Jeffrey) Montante, and Keith Mahoney; and several nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.

Visitation will be held on Friday, November 13 from 3 – 6 PM at M.J. Colucci & Son Niagara Funeral Chapel, 2730 Military Road, Niagara Falls, NY 14304, where a prayer service will be held at 6 PM.
