Shannon Caroline Pierce, 53, of Evanston, passed away on Nov. 30, surrounded by loved ones at the University of Utah Hospital.
Born on Feb. 19, 1971, in Salt Lake City, to Ken and Debra Bronson. She attended Jordan High School where she met her first husband, Ty Pierce. The two shared one daughter, Shaely.
After separating, she spent the rest of her life with her partner, Ted Andrews, who brought his son Zach into the family. The two of them moved to Evanston and shared one daughter, Alexis.
Shannon was known for her caring heart, love of pranks and her endless generosity. She found joy in crafting, painting and spending time with her two daughters, particularly watching horror movies with them.
She dedicated her life to her work at Mountain Regional Services Inc., where she was both nominated for and elected as Employee of the Year numerous times. She cared deeply for both the patients she assisted, and the people she worked side by side with.
Shannon is survived by her life-partner, Ted Andrews; children, Shaely Pierce, Alexis Andrews and Zach (Amber) Andrews; her grandchildren, Cecelia and Lincoln; her brother, Troy Sheets; three nephews, a great-niece and many loving cousins. She is preceded in death by her parents, Ken and Debra Bronson; numerous aunts and uncles; and best friend, Tammy Smethurst.
Services will be held at 11 a.m. on Dec. 14, at the Elm Street LDS Church in Evanston with a luncheon to follow immediately after.
Shannon’s warmth and hilarious sense of humor will be missed deeply by all who were lucky to have known and loved her.
