I am so sorry to read of Shanna's passing. She was two years younger than me but we grew up just a couple houses apart in Adel. Sue and Doug were on Gordon Ave and we lived on E. !0th Street. She was a cousin of one of my best friends, Billy Greene, who recently passed too. Terry Daughtrey

The McKinnon's loved Shanna, and send their Deepest Sympathies to her Family and Friends.

Decades ago, when we both were working in schools, for several year we'd spend 2 days at Jacksonville Beach prior to schools re-opening. One year we saw Robert Reed playing volleyball at our hotel. We were happily stunned, but did not interrupt his game. The next day we tried to find him, but he'd left.

A few years later at my Mother's house, she happened to mention that School Psychologists were being hired, and since I love psychology, and wanted to work in schools, I pursued that career path, and retired as one years later, thanks to Shanna.

I will miss her.
