Born in Coral Gables, Fl on Valentines Day 1952 to Catherine (Bowers) Shanahan and Leslie Bronson, we mourn the premature passing of a wonderful and loving wife, mother and sister. She is preceded in death by her parents, stepfather Richard Shanahan, and sister Susan Shanahan. She leaves behind her loving husband Kevin Thomson; daughter Rachael McLean; sisters Debbie (Greg) Miholic, Patti (Mike) Downs, and Kathi Mulhere; half-sister Sandi (Bronson) Quesenberry, 12 nieces and nephews; and her parents in-law William and Sharon Thomson. She was known for her kindness and touched the lives of numerous children as a foster parent; this brought her great joy. A lifelong animal lover, she is now reunited with them at the Rainbow Bridge.
