Rebecca "Becky" Shannon, age 82, entered into the arms of her precious Jesus while surrounded by her family she loved so much. She fought a very short battle with colon cancer. She was born in Columbus, Ohio to the late Earsey and Edith Vandergriff.
In addition to her parents, Becky was preceded in death by her in-laws, Carl and Alberta Shannon, sister, Betty Lee, brother, Clarence Vandergriff, sister-in-law, Darlene Vandergriff, brother-in-law, Sam Shannon, nieces, Sandy Vandergriff, Nancy McHale and son-in-law, Larry Falstick.
Becky is survived by her husband of 66 years, Charlie; daughters, Christi (Dennis) McKibben and Cheryl Collins; granddaughters, Caitlynn and Cassidy Collins who were her pride and joy as well as her step-grandchildren, Penny (Joshua) Overmyer, Dennis (Angie) McKibben, Jenny (Kerry) Ward, Travis McKibben and Joe (Laura) McKibben; she had 11 great-grandchildren; brother, Charles Vandergriff; many nieces, nephews and a host of many friends. There was a special place in her heart for her furry, four legged grandchildren.
Becky was loved by so many and never missed the opportunity to witness and share about her precious Jesus. Through the last 7 weeks she wanted her friends and family to visit and reminisce and make sure they knew she wanted to see them in heaven.
