On April 21st, 2010, Shannon married Christopher Goodwill. They loved taking long drives in the canyons or just anywhere to get away for a while. Shannon had many different things she loved doing, such as camping, fishing, going to the lake, bowling, barbequing with family and friends, doing ceramics, watching fireworks and taking walks with her dog.

She last worked at Farmers Insurance where she helped customers with their insurance needs. She became close to many of her customers and they enjoyed talking with her. This is also where she met her husband.

She is survived by her loving husband, Christopher (Chris) Goodwill; her son Christopher (Chris) Paul (Alicia) Shaffer, who she loved to the moon and back. She was so proud of him and his accomplishments serving our country.

The love, kindness, laughter and caring soul will live on in our hearts forever. The nicknames that she gave everyone will live forever in their memory. Fly with the angels and be at peace with mom, pop, and Rochelle, plus many other family members. Love always and forever!!!
