Jean Shannon
Loudonville~

Genniene (Jean) Shannon (Spenziero), of Loudonville, passed away peacefully, Sunday, July 5, 2020, at the Daughters of Sarah Nursing Home.

Born in Albany New York on July 30, 1933, she was the daughter of the late Frank and Theresa (Dannible) Spenziero and predeceased by her husband Harold C. Shannon.

Jean graduated from St. Joseph's Academy in Albany and worked as a waitress at Howard Johnson's and then for many years at Grimaldi's Restaurant in Colonie before retiring to care for her grandchildren. Jean was a strong spirit and could sum you up instantly upon meeting you and was a living legend to those within her family. There will always be a little bit of Jean in all of us. She enjoyed romantic movies and love songs; she liked to dance, play the piano, go bowling and loved to dine out.

She will be deeply missed by her children Michele Gava (Joseph), Michael Shannon, Kathleen Lyons (James), Cynthia Shannon and Allison Maselli, her twelve grandchildren, six great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews.
