Shannon was born on January 18, 1970, in Wichita, KS, to Thomas and Lucille Martinez Taylor. She worked as a high school social studies teacher until the birth of her first child, choosing then to stay home to care for and raise her family. Shannon relished her role as a homemaker and all the duties it entailed. She was deeply involved in all of her children’s activities, from football to dance and everything in between. Shannon also cherished achieving the title of Mama Corn to her grands.

Shannon was a dedicated member of Washington Street Church of Christ, where she was highly involved in both the children’s and ladies’ ministries over the years. She loved sewing, crafting, crocheting, and quilting, and she joyfully shared those skills by teaching other women at church. She lovingly crocheted a blanket for every new baby born into the congregation and loved organizing crafts for VBS and church camp. Shannon’s kindness shone through everything she did; she was well-known for writing letters of encouragement and also volunteered her time at the Crossroads Pregnancy Clinic.

Shannon passed away on June 11, 2026, at her home, surrounded by the love of her family. Extremely sweet, kind, and caring, she will be deeply missed by everyone who had the joy of knowing her.

Survivors include her husband, Allen Alcorn; children, Joe-Allen (Ann) Alcorn, A.J. Alcorn, Allison (Crutcher) Ezell, and Ashlen Alcorn; grandchildren, Rudy Bartlett Alcorn and Joe Barrett Alcorn; her parents, Thomas and Lucy Taylor; and brothers, Shawn Taylor and Lloyd Taylor.
