Obituary for Shannon Sisco

Share Your Condolences

---

You were my first "real" girlfriend back in 5th or 6th grade. We went to Day Barnes' boy/girl party. We ate pizza and danced to some music and I may even have held your hand breifly. The song I remember was from Kool and the Gang called Celebration. You reminded me that the invitations were shaped like pizza slices. In recent months we reconnected and had some laughs. I got the pleasure of seeing you and Aaron in your home a couple of times and was absolutely stunned by your Faith. Colby, her husband and Isaac were also there. We sat in the kitchen and I could tell that you could already see the face of God. You told us your time was really limited but you were ok with that. You were still more concerned with those left behind. My family was in awe of the love and openness that you shared with us. I will look back on these memories and smile. You will never be forgotten and I am sure that I will seek your advice from above from time to time. You made such an impact on me. Someday you will greet me at the gates of Heaven and say "Welcome, it's been awhile, come on in."

She will be missed by all who knew her.Thoughts and prayers go out to Aaron and the rest of the family on their loss of a GREAT MOM and WIFE...

Shannon's smiling face will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family during this difficult time.

"I must be willing to give whatever it takes to do good to others. This requires that I give until it hurts. Otherwise there is no true love in me, and I bring injustice, not peace, to those around me." Mother Theresa "Let no one ever come to see you without leaving better and happier. Be the living expression of God's kindness: kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile." Mother Theresa Your strong, couragous, beautiful spirit fill those who were lucky enough to have you in their lives.

In Christ Alone......no guilt in life, no fear in death. God Bless You Shannon. My thoughts are with all your family and friends. (p.s. in addition to being a classmate of Sharlene's, I'm also a cousin of Alison Pillard)shtaj

It was real pleasure of knowing Shannon-she will be missed. But as follow believers in Jesus Christ- we will see her again. I am sorry for your loss. May God comfort you at this time . Love you guys!

Shannon was an inspiration to everyone that knew her, I was very lucky to have had her in my life. She was the strongest woman I have ever met emotionally, spiritually and physically. I love you Shannon you will be greatly missed.

I met Shannon, Aaron, Morgan and Colby by providing childcare to the girls when they were young. It was a blessing and an inspiration to watch the family grow in love and faith. Faith, Family and Friends are what is going to help them with their loss. Our prayers are with you. Brian and Kathy Holmes

My thoughts and prayers to Aaron and his family on the loss of such an amazing and inspirational person.

Shar and family, I was so sorry to hear of Shannons battle with cancer and her death. Gone from all of you at such a young age. I remember when she was a little girl coming in to see mom at work at Mercy. I will pray for your family as you heal from her passing. God is taking very good care of her and someday, you will see her again. God Bless you all and I will be thinking of you.

We were sorry to her that Shannon had passed away. I know she had suffered for some time, but it saddens us to hear. Best wishes to Aaron and the family from me and my Mother Grace Spilde. Mother would really like to go to the service on Thursday, but she hasn't been very well this week. May God bless you, Aaron, and your family. I remembr you both at Alice's funeral and how brave you both were talking about Shannon's illness. Best wishes. Cathy (Spilde) Jansa

Sorry for your loss, our sincere thoughts are with your family,

My thoughts and prayers go out to Aaron and the family. It has been a long fight and she is an amazing woman. I am SO sorry for your loss. She will be missed.

Shannon was a strong and faithful woman. She took everything the lord gave her with grace and beauty. Even though I didn't know Shannon well I have learned the kind of woman I should strive to be. I pray for comfort for her family during this hard time.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I knew Shannon and Aaron when our kids were younger coaching their little league softball teams. Shannon was such joy to be around. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

We are so sorry to hear of Shannon's recent passing. We hope John, Linda, Charlene and the rest of her family will find peace and comfort in the days, weeks and years to come. We have you in our thoughts and our hearts.

I didnt know Shannon personally but I went to school with her daughters! I have heard nothing but good and wonderful things about her! My thoughts and prayers go out to her family. Rest.In.Paradise Shannon

Aaron, Sorry for your loss. My prayers are with your family.

I met Shannon at Dr. Winegarden;s office. We became friends immediately and later sisters of the LORD. She was an amazing person. She was there for me when I had no one else. I will never forget her. RIP Shannon, until we meet again...

I remember working with Shannon and Aaron at Heritage. Shannon had a heart of gold and the love that she had for the residents I will always remember The love that she and Aaron had for each other was inspiring, and will always cherish

You will be missed dearly

When I think of courage, persistence, patience, faith, and love I will think of Shannon and her family. Such a fighter and beautiful angel. My prayers are with you.

I read of a woman who stood to speak At the funeral of her brother. She referred to the dates on his tombstone From the beginning to the end She noted that first came the date of his birth And spoke the following date with tears, But she said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years For that dash represents all the time That he spent alive on earth. And now only those who loved him Know what that little line is worth. For it matters not how much we own; The cars, the house, the cash, What matters is how we live and love And how we spend our dash. So think about this long and hard. Are there things you’d like to change? For you never know how much time is left, That can still be rearranged. If we could just slow down enough To consider what’s true and real And always try to understand The way other people feel. And be less quick to anger, And show appreciation more And love the people in our lives Like we’ve never loved before. If we treat each other with respect, And more often wear a smile Remembering that this special dash Might only last a little while. So, when your eulogy is being read With your life’s actions to rehash Would you be proud of the things they say About how you spent your dash?

Shannon has been in our family since I was very young. From the time they met my brother and she were never far apart. Even a blizzard couldn't keep them apart. I remember my brother at the age of 15 leaving our house on a moped IN THE SNOW across town at night, to spend time with Shannon while our parents were at work. There was never another so suited to be with Aaron. Shannon, your humor and laughter were contagious. But the one thing I am certain sticks out in everyone's mind is your love and faith in God. That is why today, I rejoice because I know His promises are always true and I will see you again. You did your whole life as God commanded you were a fisher of men. Now reap those glorious rewards in heaven that you so deserve. Until we meet again......Dusty, Casey, Braxton, Bailey and Ava Wendt

You will always be missed Shannon!! I remember spending the night with Colby and baking cookies with you and her! I love you and miss you so much.

There's a peace I've come to know Though my heart and flesh may fail There's an anchor for my soul I can say "It is well" Jesus has overcome And the grave is overwhelmed The victory is won He is risen from the dead And I will rise when He calls my name No more sorrow, no more pain I will rise on eagles' wings Before my God fall on my knees And rise I will rise Chris Tomlin – I Will Rise We pray that the Lord will send you and your family the peace that goes beyond all understanding. Rick, Nancy, and Ryan Hanson, Renee, Scott, Shae and Dawson Britt

I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I consider every moment I spent with Shannon a precious gift from God. She lived a beautiful life and will be dearly missed.

In loving memory of the beautiful girl, both inside and out.

Gentle thoughts during these difficult days

I knew Shannon at Jeffreson and had caught up with her in recient months on Facebook. She was a good person and will be missed. I lost both my parents to cancer, my Mom just this past December, it is something I wish on no one. To her family, grive but never forget her at her best...lock those memories away in your heart forever.

In this life we will all miss our beautiful Shannon...She was beautiful inside and out. She was such a good worker for the Lord Jesus Christ on this earth that is full of sin. From the little girl I watched grow up to the strong beautiful christian she left us with. May the Lord gives us all strength to get thru life struggles. God is good, don't forget it.

I met Shannon years ago when she trusted me enough to do daycare for her daughters. I would take care of their daughters during the week and then periodically they would take my son Cory to their cabin fishing. The stories that came out of those fishing trips were always so funny. We were separated for a few years because I had a family member passing from cancer, I had stopped daycare for awhile. I received a beautifuil letter from Aaron, a few years back. I met up with Shannon, Aaron and the girls at Wendy's--we rekindled our freindship. I will say I was deeply touched at the maturity of Shannon through out this whole ordeal with her cancer. The whole family had grown even with the ups and downs of life but grown to such a beautiful loving family. I was so happy to know that Shannon was going to get to be a Grandma before she passed and a proud one for sure! Shannon has truly earned her wings and she truly has made us all proud. God has taken a beautiful person home to be with him. Take care Aaron, Morgan and Colby --you are the lucky ones that had her the closest, as her Husband and her Daughters.

Shannon and I played tennis together startig in 7th grade at Taft and through out our years at Jefferson High School. She was a great friend and I will truly miss her.

Morgan and Family, I was so sorry to hear about that passing of Shannon. May Jesus be your comfort in this time of sorrow. What a wonderful day it will be when you will all be in heaven together again forever! Hold on to all the great memories until then. I will be praying for you. Tammy Powell

John, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your daughter. Thinking of you and your family during this time.

I went to school with Shannon & Aaron tho we didnt really know each other then we met again when we all worked together @ Heritage Acres. My heart aches for you all my thoughts and prayers to all of you!

"As a well spent day brings a happy sleep, so a life well spent brings a happy death", Shannon may you rest in eternal happiness and peace. You will be missed by all who knew you, I will never forget the wonderful times we shared growing up together and will forever cherish the last days we spoke. God Bless Christie Patton

Sisco Family our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time, God Bless mary and beth walker

My prayers are with you and your family.

I remember the days Shannon and Christie Patton and I would walk home from Taft, enjoying your talks and laughs about the days events. Shannon you where loved by so many and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family. May we meet again in gods kingdom one day. Lisa Hupp

We will always miss you Shannon. I'm so glad you're home now.

I have know Shannon almost all my life.. our parents were freinds when we were very young. then later we ended up at the same school. We had lost touch after high school until Facebook.. Shannon found me on here and after catching up on life we were able to chat and email about our cancers. She was a walking angel and when i was down about treatments she had the spirt of God with her. She will be greatly missed. Shelley Bessey

I was stuggling with alchohol and drug abuse a few years back, And because of Aaron and Shannon's faith in Jesus They begin to share with me, and let me become apart of their Bible studies. I gave my life to Christ because of their willingness to be used by God. I was instantly freed up from all those addictions. I never knew Shannon before she had cancer, but the two years that I did I seen God do mighty things through her life, and even when she was sick she always wanted people around her and she never let Cancer get the best of her, she was always gracious to everybody. I asked her once if she could be cured of cancer but it meant that I wouldn't have come to know the Lord if she would. She told me not for one second. I will miss my friend, but because of God's grace and her love for Christ. There will be a day that I will get to embrace my friend and thank her for being faithful, And i will get to hear that infectious laugh, and there will be no cancer.
