Shavon Louise Mecham Bair

After a valiant fight with the best treatments known to science, Shavon Louise Mecham Bair finally beat her cancer by returning to the loving arms of her Father in Heaven on March 6, 2005. Shavon was born on July 2, 1978 in Roosevelt, Utah to Ronald Lee and Marilyn Louise Brighton Mecham. The family lived in Vernal, UT until she was three when they moved with her family to Smithfield, UT. She lived there throughout her school years. After graduating from Sky View High School, she worked at Icon Health and Fitness where her wry sense of humor and ready smile made many friends. At the same time, she went to Beau La Reine Beauty School and trained to be a hairstylist. Many of her clients just don?t look as good any more as she had a rare gift with her scissors. Just before graduating from beauty school, she married her sweetheart, Jonathan Jay Bair for time and all eternity. Shortly after their marriage she opened her own beauty shop, Bair Cuts, in Lewiston, UT. It was here that their beautiful daughter Jaylee Louise Bair was born and became the joy of her life. Soon after, they were able to buy a home in Lewiston, and settle into family life. There they welcomed a second daughter, Olivia Aryn Bair. Shavon went to work at Dollar Cuts in Brigham City and Jon went to college and they were working to make their dreams come true, when Shavon started having such severe back pain that she couldn?t keep working. What she thought was an infection that was resisting treatment, turned out to be Ewing?s Sarcoma, a particularly aggressive cancer that usually affects children. Shavon is survived by her husband and daughters, parents, brothers Sean Wendy and Aaron Nicole Mecham, Sisters Lindsay Chris Wilder, Natalie Maurice Montgomery and Nicole Mecham Scott, and her grandmothers Thora Mecham and Miriam Brighton.
She was preceded in death by her grandfathers, Earl Mecham and Max Brighton and her younger brother Micah. Funeral services will be held at 12:00 noon Wednesday, March 9, 2005 at the Smithfield 13th Ward Chapel, 345 East 300 South. Friends and family may call Tuesday evening from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. at Nelson Funeral Home, 85 South Main, Smithfield and Wednesday morning at the church from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. prior to services.
