Obituary of Shannon Irene Bradley-Zahorchak
Words cannot properly express how incredible some of the most beautiful souls can be. Wise people who remind you, "there are no bad days, only bad moments", and that they, "love you more"; two phrases that hold so much more meaning when said by Shannon Irene BradleyZahorchak. These words can only display a fraction of the depth of love, kindness, strength and intelligence held by Shannon, aka MamaBear. Her babies, Leah, Rhiannon, and (predeceased) Michael Zahorchak, were her world. Those who knew her best can attest to her always stating, "my kids are my everything." Mama Z would give the shirt off her back to help someone in need; the gift of empathy running strong within her and which she worked hard to instill in her precious children. She was just one of those beautiful people. Born on May 27, 1966 to her dear mother, Vera Bradley, who she proclaimed was, "her hero." Survived by her Husband of 32 years Dennis Zahorchak who she loved unconditionally through all the trials and tribulations of life. Shannon considered herself truly blessed with wonderful grandchildren, with thanks to her step-son, Christopher (Caius, Ateah, Isabelle, Gwendolyn, and Jessica) Zahorchak. Also survived by her sister Shelley (Jordan and Justice), as well as her brother Brandon and sister-in-law Michelle (Tiffany, AJ, William, and Christian) Bradley. Sister-inlaw Jessica Zahorchak Gryn and Daniel Gryn To the many others whose lives have been touched by the bright light that Shannon radiated, know that she loved you just as much in return. Many thanks to all for the love and support provided to her family at this time.
