They lived near the Double Nickel Campground in Waco where they managed it for 25 years together and raised their three children. After selling the campground in Spring of 2014, Shannon began working at the Nebraska Correctional Center for Women in York, as a corporal and then as the mailroom specialist, until she retired in 2021. She was a member of the St. John Lutheran Church.
Shannon was very devoted to her family. She was known for her Sunday suppers where she enjoyed feeding her family and spending time with her children and grandchildren. She loved her six grandchildren more than anything in the world, they brought her so much joy. When she wasn't with her grandchildren, she was at the family cabin at Sherman Lake.
