Shannon (Johnson) Hogan, of Chippewa Falls, town of LaFayette, passed away at the lake surrounded by family on a sunny May 27th, 2023. Two days after celebrating her 32nd wedding anniversary.

Shannon was born on March 8th, 1970, to Jan (Johnson) and Jerry Johnson in Superior. Her favorite place to be growing up was outside. Whether playing baseball with the boys, hitting a tennis ball off the elementary school, or spending the summers riding her bike around town making friends and causing trouble.

After graduating from Superior Senior High in 1988, she went on to study Physical Therapy at Duluth Technical College.

In 1989 she met a cutie, Joe Hogan, at the UWS library. They married on May 25th, 1991, and had two beautiful girls, Mikayla Hogan & Jasie (Russell) Harrington, both of the Chippewa Valley. While she’d have preferred humans, a whole zoo of grandanimals; Charlie, Joff, Pip, Luigi, and Birdie will miss her dearly.

After graduating with a degree in Physical Therapy, she started her career as a PTA in 1994, buzzing around the Chippewa Valley helping where needed for the next 25 years with her longest stint at Bloomer Hospital. Shannon worked with LSS Bridge Care from 2002-2008 fostering 17 newborns and giving those lucky babies the most loving, nurturing home to spend their first months.

Shannon loved spending the last 3 years living the Lake Life with days full of sunshine and boat rides. Welcome Wednesdays became a mainstay on the back porch drinking and chatting with friends and family while enjoying the view and sunset.

She is survived by her husband of 32 years and her daughters, siblings; Debra (Johnson) Bachand of Clarksville, TN, Kelly Clana of Tallahassee, TN, Diane (Roger Yeazle) Van Damme of Superior WI, Wade (Barb) Johnson of Zion IL, Clay Johnson of Nashville, TN, Jeff Johnson of St. Cloud, MN, and HZL - her special Chippewa family. Along with countless aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews, and friends.

Shannon was preceded in death by her parents, along with her brother, Tim Johnson.

Special thank you to the staff at Mayo Hospice, especially Frances, for their support over the last months, ensuring Shannon’s comfort and allowing her to do it her way.
