Shannon Garretson

Shannon Feagin Garretson, a Valentine's baby, was born on February 14, 1976, at Mobile Infirmary Hospital in Mobile, Alabama. Shannon, affectionately known as "Shannie", lived in Theodore, Alabama until she moved to Grantville, Georgia. Shannon passed away at Brightmoor Hospice in Griffin, Georgia on Saturday, June 28, 2025. Shannon loved others with her whole heart and will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Shannon enjoyed hanging out with her friends, online shopping, going to the beach, and watching reality shows. She worked at McDonalds, Walmart, a day care, a shipbuilding company and later went back to school to become an Esthetician. Later, Shannon became a full-time mother, devoting her time to take care of her son until his death in 2010. In 2012, Shannon had a major setback with her own health and received a liver transplant. She never fully regained her energy, but continued to fight and with her new liver, Shannon was blessed to have her "miracle baby" Mally.

Shannon is preceded in death by her son, Jacob Tyler Feagin; her dad, Michael Allen; grandparents, Charles and Stella Glatfelter, Jack and Mary King, Ernest and Kathleen Allen; and uncles, Beldon Glatfelter and Steve Glatfelter.
