Shannon was a graduate of Honesdale High School, Class of 1999. She was a lover of many passions including the love of the gift of gab. Everyone she would pass she loved to stop and talk to. She also had a strong love and passion for reading. There was never a time you did not see Shannon without a book in front of her to read. One of her many hobbies was collecting lighthouses. The fascination for a beautiful lighthouse near the ocean was always to her a symbol, a lighted path to her faith, and the love of God in the storm of her sometimes bumpy life. Shannon's faith always shined bright and strong. Another one of her many passions was collecting lasting friendships.

Shannon's most loved possession was not something material but her baby, her dog Zara. Zara was everything to Shannon. The love of her life.
