Dr Brittany R. McShane

Dr. Brittany Rene McShane (Cross) entered the arms of Jesus on September 28, 2022 at the age of 32. She was born March 25, 1990 to Lonny and Debra Jo Cross (Althaus).

Brittany grew up in Edmond and attended Oklahoma Christian School from Pre-k to 12th, graduating in 2008. She was an extraordinarily talented soccer player and loved it, along with many other sports. She went on to attend Oklahoma State University where she became a member the Gamma Phi Beta Sorority. While attending OSU Brittany was named one of the Top Twenty Freshman and was selected to be a member of the distinguished Mortar Board Honor Society. She graduated in 2012 and then went on to pursue her passion for medicine. She graduated from Oklahoma State University College of Osteopathic Medicine in 2017. Brittany was president of her medical school class and was chief resident of her residency. She was also named Student Doctor of The Year in 2017. Brittany was an incredibly compassionate physician, colleague and friend. She loved her career and was dedicated to serving others.

Brittany married the love of her life, Andrew McShane, on March 11, 2017. Together they enjoyed many amazing trips and created endless memories wherever they went. They shared a passion for the outdoors and hiking and in January 2020 right before the Covid-19 pandemic, they were blessed with the opportunity to hike Machu Picchu, which they successfully and joyfully completed together. Brittany loved spending Saturdays together with Andrew watching college football where she rooted strongly for her OSU Cowboys. More recently, Brittany began to share in Andrew’s love of golf. She set her heart in it and was determined to become a golfer alongside him. On November 4, 2020, Brittany and Andrew became parents to the most perfect baby, Carter Jack McShane. Brittany referred to Carter as her little munch (munchkin). Carter was the light of her life, and she completely adored him. He loves dinosaurs because of her and he will always be reminded of her love and adoration for him.

The impact that Brittany made on earth during her brief time will last forever through the numerous lives she touched. She will be missed immensely by all who knew and loved her.

She was preceded in passing by her mother, Debra Jo Cross and her grandparents, Marilyn and Bernard Althaus.
