“Looks Twice” Mar. 2, 1961 – Dec. 16, 2015 Shannon was born in Everett, Wash. on March 2, 1961 and went home to be with the Lord on December 16, 2015.
She grew up on the Tulalip Indian Reservation where she was also an enrolled tribal member. She was a very well respected Native artist. She did beautiful beadwork, paint, sculpted, crocheted, carved, basket weaved, and she was a very good tattoo artist. She was a den mother to a lot of young people who came to her not only for an ear to listen but for advice as well. She was easily called mom to many. Her most recent favorite pastime was spending it with her grandkids, either making clothes for her granddaughter or her dolls. Building stuff with her grandsons with their Legos or giving them “secret” missions playing Army. She really enjoyed watching all her grandkids practice their Taekwondo.
She has four children with her first husband, Louie Pablo Jr., Louie Pablo III, Colette (Tommy) Kaula, Charlo. Five grandchildren, Aaron, Nico, Echo, Louie, Jarome. She has seven siblings, Gary, Lisa (Lisa) Rocky, Miles, Shawna, Shirley, and Pat.
She is preceded in death by her son, Louie III; her mother, Jeanie; her brother, Rocky; and grandmother Helen. She leaves behind her father, Alvie; and her biological father, Ernie; and numerous cousins and friends. Shannon will be missed by all who were blessed to know her.
