My favorite memories growing up are with My Aunt Shannon and Uncle Danny. Going to visit them in VA was always so exciting to me. I have warm feelings when I think of them. I always felt so loved by them. Even though Shannon was my older cousin she was more like an Aunt and I looked up to her so much growing up and wanted to be just like her. She was so beautiful and I always thought it special we resembled each other. Her and I always bonded over that and I called her my Aunt Shanaynay. I used to love going over her house and doing things with her. I remember she gave me my first bath and bodywork’s perfume Moonlight Path- I’ll always think of her when I smell it. Circumstances kept us distant but she was always my Aunt Shannon in my heart. I remember her smiling and laughing a lot. I loved her voice.  My heart breaks for Brooke and Kelsi, Bill, her grandkids and everyone that loved her. May God surround you with only supernatural peace He can provide. Jehova Rapha (God our healer)
Love you all. 


I think about Shannon every day and how much I miss her and how lucky I was to be a part of Shannon’s life, to be her Aunt Sherry. I have loved her since the day she was born, and I knew she would always have a special place in my heart.  

Shannon lived a simple life.  She loved her life with Bill in their log cabin.  She loved being a wife, mother, and grandmother.  She was so proud of her children and loved them dearly.  Shannon’s grandbabies were the light of her life. She adored them! She went by Gigi and she loved playing with them and rocking them to sleep. I know they will always feel her amazing love.  She loved the family celebrations; the weddings (she made their wedding invitations!), the bridal and baby showers, and most of all she loved having the family over for Christmas. These were special times for her.  

Shannon was passionate about animals, nature, and the Nationals! She loved walking to the pond and through the woods especially with her dogs Rebel and Oreo that she missed dearly.  

Shannon loved her gardens and would send me pictures of them and her flowers, butterflies, hummingbirds, spiders, and anything else that struck her eye. She was an amazing photographer.  She was smart, creative and crafty.   

She loved finding rare and unique rocks.  She had an amazing collection. I will always cherish the rocks that Shannon gave me and the ones we found together. 

Shannon and I shared so many good times together. I would do anything to have one more day with you Shannon and to say to you how much joy and love you brought me through the years…to all of us. Thank you for all the beautiful memories that I will hold close to my heart.  Knowing you are safe and free of pain brings me comfort.  Knowing you are wrapped up in pure love and beauty where you are, brings me peace. You were a blessing to me Shannon. Until we meet again my sweet angel.  

With much love and gratitude, forever yours, 
Aunt Sherry



I don’t have photos, just memories of Shannon and her larger than life self. She loved and lived with no excuses. So many sweet and funny memories that will not be forgotten. While it’s so difficult for those left behind, she is surrounded by all God’s creatures now, free of pain. and will certainly find a way to let each and every one of those she loved know she will always be with you. Until we meet again, I promise to always have a rice krispy treat for you.

Such a beautiful soul. I remember her being new to our school and walking with her to school in the mornings.  While going thru extremely hard times the last 3 years of my life, she gave me some very good advice. Always commenting loving, positive, kind words. She will be greatly missed ❤️❤️

I am so sorry for your loss. Shannon was an amazing woman. She had a heart of gold and a smile that would illuminate every room she graced. I loved and adored her so much. 

I was lucky enough to have met Shannon when I made Arrowettes!  She was picked to be my Big sister.  She was always kind and incredibly Funny! She never judged me or made me feel less than.  I’m thankful we have kept in touch through the years.  I can only imagine the heartbreak her family is feeling.  A beautiful person gone way to soon. 🙏

When I met Shannon she was in her twenties - she totally reminded me of Barbie!  A paralegal Barbie.  Smart and kind and always welcoming.  It's ironic she would get subs with no meat, which I thought was weird, and now I 'm the vegetarian!  When she was pregnant we were all so excited - I loved her girls before they were born, and pray you are comforted by knowing you carry her spirit, strength, and perseverance.    You definitely do.  This trait is no doubt passed on to her wonderful grandchildren.  I last saw her at the beautiful baby shower she prepared,.   Although I only saw her at the big events, I know how much she loved her children and how much they loved her.  May God grant her children peace in knowing their love is everlasting.

Burns Family,

I met and new Shannon from the American Legion meeting at noon every day.  She was such a kind and loving person!  She always had so much to offer and she loved taking pictures of her birds!  She actually gave me a framed article on the Baltimore Oriole for my birthday a few years back.  She will truly be missed by the Legion community, and may God comfort you all during this time of mourning.

Blessings,

Scott Beebe

A few days ago the world lost a beautiful soul!!! An incredible wife to her husband, Bill. The best mother to our daughters, Brooke and Kelsi. Stepmother to Chris and Brad. Her favorite title of all, Gigi to Noah and Grace! They brought a sparkle and joy to her life! She loved with her whole heart. Even though we divorced many years ago we remained very close! She was the best!! She was the fun one. She welcomed everyone with open arms and made you feel right at home!! All of the kid’s friends loved her. If you were sick or didn’t feel good she comforted you and knew the right things to say!! Her Aunt Sherry was a godsend in her life. My parents adored her. My brother and sisters kept in contact with her often. We texted at least once a week. Thanks to her husband, Bill who she loved immensely. Thank you Bill for giving her the love she needed and the life she always wanted. Brooke and Kelsi, she is still with you!! I know she meant the world to you and it’s extremely difficult right now but she would want you to be happy and love like she did!! Shannon, we will see you again someday! Thanks for all the love and happiness you left us!!

Shannon was always moving!   That’s why she accomplished so much in her short life!
Though our visits were few I was always updated by Cheryl and George❤️. 
She had 2 beautiful daughters who have found love and starting families of their own! Bless you Girls!   I never met Bill but I know she was a happy wife!
Though she is at peace, my heart hurts for her family and wonderful friends.  I’m sure all of you are missing her and her energy!
Hugs to all!  She will always be in our hearts🙏🏻❤️

Shannon was born to my cousin Jub and his wife Rhonda when I was 11. They lived nearby and I loved spending time with her as she grew. She was cheerful, funny and sweet as a child. My parents and i enjoyed babysitting her on occassion. She used to stop by my parents on her way to school and help my mother get her pantyhose on when Mom's back was aching! We were sad when she left the area to live with her mom. She stayed in touch with letters, then email and finally Facebook. I offer condolences to all her family and friends. We will all miss this wonderful lady.
