Shannon Rose Bagot, 27, Peekskill 

A memorial service for Shannon Rose Bagot, 27, is planned for Wednesday June 26, from 3 – 6 pm at Dorsey – Carlone Funeral Home, 1100 Cortlandt St. Peekskill. With her infectious smile and spirit, Shannon brought joy and happiness with her wherever she went.

She was an artist, student, animal lover, and selfless caregiver, who put other’s needs above her own.  She was someone who saw life’s inequities and tried to make things better for the less fortunate. Shannon was someone with magical qualities and the world is a darker place without her.

She is survived by her mother, Suzanne Graziano; father, Brian; brother, Daniel; her aunts, Kristina, Janine (Carl), Maria, Anne; her Uncle Kevin, Uncle Mike; her cousins, Sean, Austin, Keith, Katelyn, Ryan, and William; numerous second cousins and countless friends.

In Shannon’s memory contributions to SPCA of Westchester, Inc. are appreciated.
