The Parish offers prayers of condolence to our pastor, Fr. John McGuire, OP, and his family on the death of his sister Barbara Shannon, who passed away on Thursday, December 22.
A homemaker, she was born in the Bronx where she lived until moving to Aberdeen, New Jersey in 1963. Barbara had a love for life and a cheerful attitude that carried her through her battle with multiple sclerosis. She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and extended family.
She was predeceased by her husband of 42 years Senan M. Shannon in 1998. In addition to Fr. John, she is survived a daughter Barbara Ann Shannon, 2 sons and a daughter-in-law John Shannon, Senan T. and Andrea Shannon, and 2 grandchildren, Meaghan and Senan C.
The wake will be held on Tuesday December 27 from 2-4 p.m. and from 7-9 p.m. at the Waitt Funeral Home and Cremation Service, 501 Highway 79, Morganville, N.J. (near Matawan). Her Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Wednesday December 28 at 10 a.m. at the Church of St. Clement, 172 Highway 79, Matawan, N.J.
