Mishon

She is survived by her son, Killian Ryan, and grandson, Kyro Northsun/Ryan, mother Nila Shanley, father James Shanley, brothers Cody and Jesse Windriver, Claymore Shanley, Lance Matsushige, sisters Jesi-kate and Erin Shanley, grandfather Adam Fortunate Eagle. Along with numerous cousins, nieces and nephews.

She is pre-deceased by her grandmother Bobbie Nordwall and her partner Steve Ryan.

Mishon loved to party with her many friends. She had many hopes and dreams such as becoming a screenwriter (there’s a beginning manuscript somewhere). She loved movies and comedians. She loved most of all her son, Killian and becoming a grandmother to Kyro (3 months old). She also loved her silly dogs Bosko and Bane.

Those that know her….know her. And for those that did not have the pleasure, there’s no explaining the loss we feel for her vibrant personality and wicked humor.

There will be a celebration of life, location to be determined, in the near future. We invite all of her friends and relatives to share happy memories of her.
