She had many challenges in her life but with time and much effort she overcame each one. Shannon reached a time of peace and happiness in her life. Her sense of humor was well-known to her family and friends. Shannon had the tendency to be gullible which resulted in much family laughter. She had a deep love for her family, there was a special place for each in her heart. When it came to animals, she was protector and advocate. This was obvious through her relationships with her 4-legged baby, Timmy. She was preceded in death by her parents; son, Derek McCoy and brother, David Young. Survivors are her daughter, Jami Nelson and husband, Charlie; grandchildren: Dylan and Braden; sisters: Diane Nesbit and husband, Jerry, MaryAnn Contreras; nieces and nephews: Chris Young, Dustyn Young, Stephanie Bernal Young, Victor Gomez and numerous aunts, uncles and extended family.
