Shannon Paige Sarah Paisha Munson, of Oneonta, NY, passed away unexpectedly on July 1, 2025 from a brain aneurysm. She was surrounded by her family and friends.

Shannon was born on June 27, 1978, to Rick and Faye Munson. She was the best anniversary present to her (maternal) grandparents.

Shannon will be remembered for her fiery red hair, empathetic heart, and sassy sense of humor. As well as her infectious laugh, her admiration for animals, and her selfless acts of love and guardianship to everyone.

Shannon is predeceased by her grandparents, Dick and Laura Munson, Donald and Libby Akulin and her beloved KK.

She is survived by her parents; her children, Ni'esa, Galisia, and MarQies; her stepchildren, Jayden, Niama, and Derrick; her sister, Michele; and countless other family members and friends.

As many were aware, Shannon had a tendency to be late to many occasions. On this occasion of life, she left early to watch over all of us.
