Shannan was a light in the world for all who knew her. She was compassionate and caring to everyone she met. She had many friends; she could make a new friend while walking her dog, Vincent, in the park, or even on a short Uber ride to the airport. If you met Shannan, she'd never forget you or your name. Her faith in God was strong, and she always looked forward to the day that she would be with God and join the loved ones who passed before her. She was an angel on Earth and is now an angel in Heaven. SCHOEDINGER NORTHEAST, Gahanna is assisting family with arrangements.
