She was a warm, loving and giving person. Her family meant the world to her. She cherished her children, was devoted to her parents and was always interested in her siblings’ lives.
Shanna loved the outdoors, especially the mountains. She was a “MTN GIRL” as this was her license plate. Her many pets were always treated as one of the family.

She is survived by her three children; Hadley Gary, Samantha (Nick) Skuce and Matthew Gary; her parents Harry and Judy (Maraldo) Fisch; her siblings Bob and his children; Jeanette and her daughter and her two children, her brother John and her close friend of 15 years, Steve Ori.
