Anyone that knew Shannon will always remember her smile. A smile that shined from ear to ear any time she was spending time with her grandbabies or was glorifying Jesus in church. Shannon’s relationship with the Lord is what made her into the woman she was. She lived and breathed her children and grandchildren from the day they were born until her very last breath. Shannon was always ready for adventure. Not only did she hike down into the Havasu Falls of the Grand Canyon, she spent two weeks traveling across Israel and Jordan. She was an amazing woman and is deeply missed by everyone that loves her.
