Pamela Jean Shannon

Pamela Jean (Hohn) Shannon was born in Brighton, Michigan on May 13, 1947 and passed away on April 22, 2022 in Pensacola, Florida. She was a graduate of Kearsley High School in Genesee County, Michigan, and obtained an Associate Degree from Mott Community College, Flint, Michigan.

She is survived by her husband, Dennis M Shannon of Pensacola, Florida., her son Christopher (Karen) Shannon of Potterville, Michigan, her daughter Lisa (Kat) Shannon of Cary, North Carolina and two granddaughters Taylor and Christen Shannon of Michigan.

She was preceded in death by her father William E Hohn and her mother Adelaide (Piotrazcyk) Hohn, a sister Maxine (Don) Condon, and a brother Rodney Hohn.

Through the miracle of DNA testing she was able to reunite, later in life, with much of her biological family. She is survived by her mother Daisy Irene (Varnier) Hillman of East Tawas, MI, four sisters Diana (James) Clark, Gale (Steve Roberts) Yates, Margaret (Bruce) Lynds and Jackie Pegg; and also two brothers Randolph Hurley, Raymond (Kathlyn) Hillman all of Michigan.

She was preceded in death by a brother Robert L Hurley.

Pam loved her precious cat Sage and had many hobbies that included gardening, decorating and raising chickens and rabbits during the farming years. She has travelled extensively and was a very competitive shopper and enjoyed bartering in market places on six continents. She also enjoyed living next to the water.

The family will host a “Celebration of her Life” at a later date in Michigan.

The family requests that donations be made in lieu of flowers to help support the Ukrainian Refugees. Two organizations could be Razom for Ukraine (www.razomforukraine.org/razom-emergency-response) (Razom means “Together”) or the Catholic Relief Services/Ukraine (www.crs.org/ukraine/our-work-overseas/where=we=work/ukraine) or any other Ukrainian support effort.
