Yoshi Shannon

Yoshi Shannon – age 86, entered into rest peacefully at the Lone Tree Retirement

Center, December 27, 2016 in Meade, Kansas.

Predeceased by her husband Billy-Joe Shannon, her son Jinyu Ishigaki, parents, Touchi and Makatomui Ishigaki and three brothers and one sister. Survived by her sisters Sueko and Nobu, and brother Tousuke.

Yoshi was born in Okinawa, Japan and moved with her husband to Meade, Kansas 25

years ago. She was a very talented crochet embroiderer and gained much pleasure

from giving the afghans and scarves that she made to others. Yoshi was greatly cared

for by her friends and neighbors in Meade and very much appreciated the love and

warmth she received from them.

Our family would like to extend a heartfelt thank you

to all of Yoshi’s friends and neighbors in Meade, especially Ms. Ann Classen

(predeceased) and Mrs. Linda Issac, both of whom were extremely kind to and caring

of Yoshi. Yoshi was truly blessed to have known such special people. Our family would

also like to extend our gratitude and appreciation to the staff of the Lone Tree

Retirement Center, the hospice care staff, Dr. Feldmeyer and the staff at the Meade

District Hospital.

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, January 3, 2016, at Fidler-Orme-Bachman Mortuary, Meade. Friends may call from 9:00 a.m. until service time Tuesday at the funeral home. Interment will follow in the Graceland Cemetery, Meade.

The family would welcome memorials to the Countryside Bible Church in care of the funeral home.
