Dear Peterson Family,
I'm so sorry to here of Shannon's passing. She played basketball with my sister, Lori Haydukovich, at NAU. And I was involved in the Miss Navajo County Pageant with Amy.
We lost our mother a little over a year ago to pancreatic cancer. It was tough, but so was she....just as I'm sure Shannon was. My heart goes out to you and I will keep you all in my prayers!

So sad to hear that her battle here on this earth was lost, but her life in eternity has begun. I am sure she heard the words "well done", upon her arrival!
I was so pleased to see her at our 30 year reunion last year. She was as warm and loving as I always remember her. I will never forget her walking around at the park, leaning on her son (lovingly) and chatting with each table. Such a joy to be around.
God bless her family and friends, her gain is our loss.
My sincere thoughts are with Shannon's family. She was marvelous. I am sure that because of her radiant spirit and the family she came from that she produced her own beautiful family.
I had Shannon in my fifth grade class at Snowlflake Elementary School my first year of teaching in 1974. She was an outgoing and very happy child. She was very kind and always with a smile on her face.
Bishop and Sister Peterson and family, I am saddened by your loss of your precious daughter and sister.
My deepest sympathies to the Sevison and Peterson Families. I first met Shannon at NAU. We were teammates and she was my counselor in the RS Presidency. Shannon was the best of all of us on and off the floor. I immediately looked up to her and admired her. She's a true disciple of Christ. jWe then crossed paths at BYU and play intramural basketball and volleyball. We even won a coveted championship. Then when I started coaching at Bakersfield College, she showed me the ropes to California Community College Basketball. Shannon, you will be missed!. Say "hi" to my folks for me and God be with you til we meet again.
Shannon was a special person!
I remember her walking from her place to the swimming pool when I managed the Snowflake swimming pool.
I remember her as a student of mine and an perfect example for anyone to follow.
I remember what an athletic person she was.
I don't know of any unkind wordthat she ever spoke.
She was a great person in this life and will continue being that great person on the other side. We are the ones that will miss her, may God be with you and the family at this time and bless you as you adjust your lives.
(I was her teacher at Snowflake Jr. High)
I am very saddened to hear of Shannon’s passing. What an honor to have known this remarkable woman. Shannon was passionate, kind, competitive and always accepted a challenge! Having had the opportunity to know Shannon through our NAU women’s basketball team, she was a talented competitor with an amazing work ethic and always met adversity head on. In 2011, I saw Shannon at Coach Brown’s Hall of Fame Induction at NAU – we all shared memories and she shared stories of her beautiful family. Shannon was and always will be a shining example of determination. Lori Goslar, Phoenix Arizona.
Shannon and I went to college together both at Yavapai and NAU. We were immediate friends. I am so grateful for our friendship. She has graced my life and so many others. She will be greatly missed. My deepest sympathies to all of her family.
May you know of our love for Shannon and all of your family. Families are Forever!
Beth and Woody we love you and wish we could be there to hug you and express our love for you. Shannon is a ray of sunshine with her big smile and even bigger heart.
To her children and husband we express our love for you and think you are pretty lucky to have her for all eternity.
I am glad to hear you are no longer in pain. I wish I could attend your going home celebration, however I am thinking of you this day. Your smile, humor, compassion and strength are the qualities I think of. You are a great teacher and a now a greater spirit. You were needed to teach and guide your family from another location. I hope peace finds your family, husband and children. See you in time and thank you for always being Ms. Shannon.
Shannon was a dear dear friend to me. We started college together our freshman year, and thankfully that friendship endured time, distance, and life in general. I am truly grateful she came into my life. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you today.
