Shea Juliet Maurer
December 5, 2001 – November 23, 2012
It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Shea Juliet Maurer on November 22, 2012. Shea was 10 years old.
Shea is survived by her mother DeAnna Testasecca of Fort Myers and her father Charles (and Teri) Maurer of Naples.

Shea leaves behind her nieces Riley, Emerson, Noelle and Caroline and her nephew Jack to live their lives as full as she did.
From the moment she was born, Shea was surrounded with love. She cherished her family, friends, singing and dancing and being a big sister to Meadow. Shea was a loyal Red Sox fan and also a member of Girl Scout Troop 801 and Girls in Action.

Words cannot express the sadness I felt when I found out about Shea. I had Shea in my preschool class at Wonder Years. She was a beautiful child (inside and out). Shea always had a smile and was eager to learn. Her eyes lit up when she came into the classroom. May God bless your little angel. My heart goes out to you all.
Fondly,

Mike and Family,
I am so sorry to learn about Shea's passing. As a father who recently lost my beloved son Owen, I know there are no words to ease your pain. Have faith that Shea is now an angel in Heaven watching over you from above. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me... for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." Matthew 19:14

Charlie Maurer and Family,
I can not imagine the pain you are feeling by the most tragic thing that can happen to a person, the loss of your child. I am so deeply sorry. The only thing I can offer is that I believe that God, with His infinite wisdom has a purpose for everything and that we will live to find out what great thing He had planned by taking Shea to be with Him at such a tender age. May God Bless you.

Dear the Testasecca and Maurer Family,
Wehave never met, but I met Shea a couple of times at the baseball field. She was a beautiful and fun loving little girl. Now that little girl is one of God's angels. When you see the stars shining, one of them will be Shea looking down upon you all. May the friends that surround you, bring comfort during this difficult time. God Bless All Of You

When I met Shea, one of the first things she shared with me was, "I love my family just the way it is." Nearly every day after, I witnessed her giving life to that statement, as she shared fond memories of times spent with each member of her family—always earnestly and often punctuated with smiles and laughs. The light of this wisdom burned brightly in Shea, and with our help, it will continue to reflect and propagate from Naples throughout the heavens and beyond.
With much love,
Michael Misha
