Cortney Coulson - Denver, Co
Friend of Shannon and Secretary.
Shannon and I met as UW nursing students and quickly became inseparable friends. To know Shannon was to realize the beauty in yourself and this life we traverse. I am eternally grateful for the best she saw in me, and the worldwide adventures and memories we shared.

Wausau, WI
Vice-President
I am so proud to say I am Shannon’s mother and Louis’ grandmother. Shannon lived every day with purpose, and turned the challenges of adversity into strengths. Her strong work ethic was shown throughout her life in academics, sports, career and in her relationships with family and friends. She strove to be the best that she could be, and expected and encouraged the same from others.
Scott Smith -
Denver, Co
Shannon’s husband of two years and foundation President. Shannon and I met and lived together in Madison for five years. We loved everything the city had to offer and were looking forward to raising a family there. I will forever be grateful for the memories we made together. I currently reside in Denver but Madison will always be our home. While we cannot replace what was taken, through this foundation, we can ensure that Shannon still has an impact in the Madison community.
