Judith Anne (Diment) Shannon

Aug 23, 1936 - Feb 3, 2015

A gracious and amazing lady left us on February 3rd surrounded by her three daughters (the 3 K’s). Judy loved her family unconditionally and lived her life to the fullest. Born and raised in San Francisco, a lifelong Delta Gamma member and proud UC Berkeley alum, her ties to Northern California ran deep. After meeting her husband in college, they raised their three daughters throughout California and Oregon, eventually building their dream home in Santa Rosa in 1974.

Judy leaves behind her three girls: Kelly (Kevin) Flaherty of Idaho Falls, Idaho, Katie (Rob) Shannon-Ricci of Santa Rosa, CA, and Kerry (Pat) Walsh of Benicia, CA as well as her treasured grandchildren Bryan, Connor, Ally, Emily and Andrew. She is also survived by her brother Jay (Melissa) Diment.

Travel was Judy’s passion as she explored over 20 unique countries during her lifetime. She generously shared this love with her family as well as many treasured friends.

Judy loved entertaining and was an exceptional hostess and homemaker. She enjoyed volunteering with many community organizations and supporting cultural events such as the Santa Rosa Symphony.

A memorial Mass will be celebrated at Star of the Valley Catholic Church, 495 White Oak Drive, Santa Rosa at 11:00am on Saturday, February 28th. Reception to follow.
