She spent time on the Metro State campus after being awarded the Presidential Gold Scholarship. She was a Colorado native having lived here her entire life. Shannon enjoyed a very successful career in leadership earning many awards, accolades, and friends.

Shannon enjoyed spending time at home with her family and many long hours of laughter with friends. The holidays were her favorite time of year especially Christmas Eve and she began the planning each year in July.

Shannon was extremely artistic, gifted, and mechanically inclined. Whether it was decorating her home, creating beautiful art projects, remodeling or taking something apart for the fun of putting it back together again, Shannon excelled.

She was an avid reader. She enjoyed quiet nights at home watching movies and chatting away with her husband. Her home was her sanctuary and it welcomed everyone who entered. Many nights over the years were spent enjoying the company of her valued friends and filling her home with laughter. The little things of life she valued the most such as private conversations with her son, time spent with her son's friends, and time spent with her and Jason's friends. She possessed the unique ability to genuinely care about anyone and listen to anyone who needed a friend, needed some guidance, or simply needed to be heard.
