Shannon was an accomplished artist and calligrapher. She loved watching hockey and out-fishing her partner, Tim Wilson. She was devoted to her dachshund, Hank IV, and the many four-legged friends before him who brought her great joy. Her true passion in life was helping people.

She is survived by her two sons, Jordan Robert Lee (Jessica Slettedahl) Kary of Aberdeen, and Joshua William Kary of Minneapolis; one brother, Sean McGee of New York, NY; and many friends.

Shannon was preceded in death by her parents.
