Shannon Lee Larsen

Shannon Lee (Stagner) Larsen, age 73, Plainville, passed away peacefully on March 1, 2021, at her daughter's home.

She was born March 11, 1947, to Dale and Daisy (Wise) Stagner in Hays. She attended school in Plainville and graduated high school with the class of 1965 in Englewood, Colo. On September 11, 1965, she married Michael Larsen in Englewood, Colo. To this union two children were born: Keith and Sara. Mike and Shannon returned to Plainville to raise their family and later moved to Hays.

Shannon was a Registered Nurse and spent many years working as a charge nurse and house supervisor at Hays Medical Center, Russell Regional Hospital and Cass Co. Medical Center, where she retired. Shannon loved to garden and always found joy in the beauty of what she planted. You could always find her sitting amongst her flowers admiring the fruits of her labor. Shannon shared her love for gardening with her children, her grandchildren and other family. She was a woman of strong faith and she looked forward to the day she heard, "Well done good and faithful servant!" Shannon was a kind, caring, and giving person, always there to help someone in need. Her family, and especially her grand-children, were of utmost importance to her. She thoroughly enjoyed family time and loved the stories and memories often shared.

She is survived by her son, Keith (Katina) and grandson, Brandon of Williamsburg; a daughter: Sara (Jeremy) Pride and grandchildren, Dalton, Bethany, Blake, Shaelynn, MaKaylah and Kyndall of Plainville. Also surviving are her brother, Paul (Dave) Stagner of Las Vegas, N.M.; sisters: Brenda Markley of Hays, Pam (Jay) Mongeau of Pleasant Hill, Mo., Lois (Butch) Post of Plainville, and Debbie (Donnie) Taylor of Manhattan. She also is survived by numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.
