Shields learned about the importance of having life insurance firsthand, when she served as the executor of the estate for a friend who died without having a will, according to Life Happens.

“Life insurance has given me peace of mind that, no matter the circumstance, my family is financially protected now and in the future,” Shields said in a statement about her thoughts about life insurance. “This isn’t anything I was taught growing up. It’s a life lesson I learned on my own and want to share with others.”

Life Happens says it will present Shields’ story in a national TV and radio public service announcement program.
