We spotted a Squatch!

Last photos with Shannon and Bethany

When a teammate leaves, it's an editorial tradition to send them off with a goodbye cover full of inside jokes. This was Shannon's. She defined the "bold bestie" brand voice with her sass, wit, humor, and authenticity. She was such a light and a gem to work with.

My sincere condolences to Shannon’s family and friends! We spent many times together years ago! We’ve held her close to our hearts during this ongoing battle. My greatest memory with her is when she went whitewater rafting with my family in the NC mountains years ago. Our raft guide was a nut and we laughed the whole way down the river! 🤣 Wonderful memories! ❤️ Thankful to have known Shannon! Keeping you all close to my heart as you grieve the loss of this precious person! 

Shannon's last visit to PDX. 🙂

I worked with Shannon at dentsu over a year and a half ago. I was just thinking of her the other day, wondering how she was doing, then I ran across an update on the GoFundMe page. I’m heartbroken and so sorry to hear of her passing. When I last spoke to her, a year and a half ago, she mentioned she was on an aggressive, new treatment and sounded so incredibly hopeful. I will forever admire her bravery and the fact that she continued to work during her treatment, I know there were days she didn’t feel well but she did not let that stop her. Even though Shannon and I never met in person, I feel as though we shared a connection. She was honest and forthright and unshaken. I will never forget her. My condolences to the family. Please know Shannon made an impact in my life by reminding me to remain humble and grateful for each new day.
