Shannon G. Montague, 59, Passed away suddenly on Jan. 2 from asthma at Alaska Regional Hospital, surrounded by her loving family. She is deeply mourned by her husband Randy, and daughters, Patricia and Monica.
Shannon was born on Nov. 13, 1960, in Spokane, Washington, to Leonard and Rosetta C. Battin. After graduating from Rogers High School in 1979 in Spokane, she moved to Anchorage, Alaska, where she resided for over 40 years. Along with her husband of 30 years, she enjoyed all that Alaska had to offer. She Loved her family life and delighted in cooking and making sweet things for her grandchildren. She helped build a family cabin in Nikiski, which has become a source of great pride for the entire family.
Shannon worked for Pruhs Construction Traffic Control, flagging road construction projects. She arrived at work with a smile, no matter what stresses or uncertainties the day might bring. She was a happy person who always brought humor to her positions and infected everyone with her cheerfulness. When she wasn't working or caring for her family, she enjoyed making craft projects.
