“I’m a former President of the Harlan County Bar Association and serve as a speaker, advocate, and general volunteer for the American Cancer Society. Motivated by my personal experience as a cancer survivor, I have volunteered extensively with the American Cancer Society’s Hope Lodge in Lexington, Kentucky, where I have purchased, prepared, and served over 10,000 meals to the lodge’s guests. I was a 2016 recipient of the Social Security Commissioner’s Volunteer Service Award for my work with cancer patients and their caregivers and was also nominated three years in a row for the Hope Lodge’s National Volunteer of the Year.”

Shannon and her husband have one daughter and welcomed their first grandchild in 2021. They’re also the proud parents of Brutus, a delightful Maine coon mix they adopted in 2019. They enjoy college football, camping, and spending time in the mountains of Montana and Wyoming.
