Shannon Gourley

Shannon Lyn Gourley, 59, our loving mother, grandmother, wife, daughter, sister, and best friend departed this world on October 7th, at the University of Utah hospital, surrounded by her family and loved ones.
Shannon was born on October 23rd, 1961, in Tooele, UT to Lynn Bake and Dorothy Stockdale. A lifelong resident of Stockton, UT, Shannon graduated from Tooele High School in 1979, and spent her entire career working for Thompsons Smokehouse in Erda.
In 1991 Shannon met the love of her life, Ron Gourley, the two quickly fell madly in love, and were married the following year. Their union brought together their five children, with Shannon came her son Chad (Andrea), and with Ron came his sons Aaron (Angie) and Jason (Amber), along with his daughters, Aubrey, and Carolinda (JD). After a year and a half of marriage, Shannon and Ron welcomed their son Garrett into the family.
Shannon absolutely loved animals, often stating that she liked animals more than she liked most people. She enjoyed trips to Wendover, and thrift shopping with her husband, Ron. Above all else Shannon loved to cook, particularly for and with her family. She was a fiercely loyal individual, especially to those she loved.
Shannon is survived by her husband Ron, father Richard, six children, seven grandchildren, one great grandchild and six brothers and sisters. She is preceded in death by her mother and father.
