It is with heavy hearts that we share the unexpected passing of our beloved Shannon Stokes on February 17, 2026.

Shannon was a devoted mother, loving daughter, committed wife, sister, and friend. She had the kindest of hearts and always put others before herself. She had a special way of making anyone around her feel loved, supported, and valued.

Her children were her whole world. She wanted nothing more than the best for them and believed deeply in being involved in her community to help create a strong, loving environment for them to grow up in. She showed up, she cared, and she gave from her heart.

Shannon loved staying active. She was always there — for her family, her friends, and herself. She had an authentic spirit with a beautiful drive to find balance and happiness in life. That light and determination are just a few of the many things we will miss and cherish so deeply.

Shannon is survived by her husband, Dillon Allen; daughter, Layla Allen; son, Raidon Allen; mother, Denise Stokes; father, John Stokes; and her brothers, Kyle DeSoto and John Stokes.
