Shannon was well known for her warm smile, creative mind, open heart and her ability to make her home a home to all who entered. We will remember Shannon by her unique gift to recognize and appreciate the talents in others and to make them feel loved and lifted by her presence. We will forever remember her by her gift to express gratitude in all circumstances, good or bad. Shannon could always find something to thank God for. Although these times are hard, we too, shall find reasons to be grateful every day as we move forward.

Shannon will continue to be our ray of sunshine. She brought us incredible joy and left us way too soon. She was proceeded in death by her parents, Elizabeth and Russell as well as her brother, Ross. She will be lovingly remembered by her sister, Victoria and her children, Ashlee and Keaton. Memorials will be directed to the family of Shannon Marshik.
