Alberta Lee Shannon

Alberta "Bertie" Shannon, 80, of Gilbert, Arizona, passed away peacefully on June 16, 2025.

Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 9, 1944, Bertie grew up in Sacramento, California, and later made Lake Tahoe her home for more than 30 years before settling in Gilbert, Arizona. Throughout her life, she was known for her vibrant spirit, kindness, and profound generosity.

Bertie was an avid animal lover with a special fondness for birds. She enjoyed playing bingo, gaming, and relaxing with her favorite drink — an Appletini. Her artwork showcased her creativity and her compassionate heart left a lasting impression on everyone fortunate enough to know her.

She was preceded in death by her parents and by her two true loves, Donald Shannon (1972-1998) and Gerald Greene (2001-2024). She is survived by her daughter, Kimberly (Michael) Corak, and her cherished grandchild, Weston. She is also lovingly remembered by her stepchildren, Shawn, Stacia, and Juli, as well as her lifelong friend, Carol Medina Weaver, all of whom held a very special place in her heart.
