Shannon Vert, age 26, of Sault Ste Marie, MI left her loved ones unexpectedly on Nov 6, 2010 of a brain aneurysm. She was preceded in death by her father Milo Vert of the same.
Shannon lived for the moment and loved life. She was the dancing queen, the social butterfly, the caretaker, and the welcomed entertainment of anything she was partaking in. Family and friends meant everything to her. Shannon’s love for others and definition of family knew no boundaries or formality. She was a very special young woman who touched the lives and hearts of everyone she knew. Shannon has taught us to dance like no one is watching, to tell stories as if they are legends, to seize the happiness life has to offer, and that it is impossible to be loved by or to love too many people. Shannon leaves behind the love of her life, fiancé, Dane Stanaway, son of Bill and Chrissie Stanaway. Her grandparents, Ralph and Wilma Vert who raised her along with Joe and Kim Dunn, Thelma and Joe Riley, Ralphie and Susan Vert, Cindy and Mike LaCross, Marty Vert, Mark and Laurie Vert, Nancy and Bill Cupp, Carla Hurlburt, Marci and Mike Kravis, as well as her brothers, Shawn and Steven Vert, nephew Jordan, aunts, uncles, and cousins who were like brothers and sisters to her, in addition to countless friends. Shannon would also want to mention her two dear pets, Kada and Bella. Shannon was employed by Dr. Ganzhorn and as noted previously, she loved caring for others. Shannon was also an organ donor and her spirit will continue in those that have received her generous gift of life.
Visitation will be from 10am until 2pm on Fri, Nov 12, 2010, at The First Church of Christ with the services and burial to follow. Donations may be made at The Soo Coop Credit Union to help with expenses.
Clark Bailey Newhouse Funeral Home is assisting the family with arrangements.
