GUILFORD COUNTY, N.C. — An administrative assistant who served the Guilford County Sheriff’s Office for over 20 years has died, the department announced Thursday.

Shanna Tucker, 54, had worked at the sheriff’s office since 2001, serving in the District 3 office where she handled daily operations and greeted residents, visitors, and colleagues.

"Shanna, you had a great sense of humor, a beautiful smile, and a contagious laugh that brightened everyone’s day," the department said in a Facebook post. "You will be deeply missed. Our GCSO family mourns your loss and will continue to honor your memory. "

Out of respect for Tucker and her family, the department did not release further details about her death.
