Always quick to laugh and lend her ear and hands in times of need, never afraid to speak her mind, sassy, generous, kind, loving, sharp-witted, sarcastic and beautiful, she put her whole heart into the people and things she loved. Shannon found joy in the little things and lit up the lives of everyone who knew her. Shannon is loved beyond words and will be missed beyond measure.
