Hawkins, of no fixed address, did not enter a plea to the charge against her and did not make an application for bail.
Simon White, presiding justice, told her: “You are going to be remanded in custody until February 16 for an appearance at 10am at Gloucester Crown Court.”
Mr Shadwick’s scooter was found by a member of the public on Bisley Old Road.
Cathy Thornton appeared for the prosecution during the court hearing, while Clare Buckley represented the defendant.
On Wednesday evening, Gloucestershire police said a post-mortem examination had returned inconclusive results.
An investigation into Mr Shadwick’s death is ongoing, it added.
