The 9-year-old Salem girl died Aug. 1 in the arms of her parents at Primary Children’s Hospital. Shaylyn fell out of a tree in her backyard onto a piece of metal rebar that impaled her head. She passed away a few days later.
Shaylyn was able to donate her liver, kidneys, heart valves and corneas to five individuals.
