Wilhelmina "Mina" Shannon Obituary
(nee Ruhle) Unexpectedly on June 10, 2025, of Oaklyn, NJ, formerly of Fairview, NJ. She was 86 years old.
She was predeceased by her husband, John T. "Jack" Shannon, Sr. Dear mother of Jack Jr. (Denise), Kevin, Debbie Carter and Brian (Shannan). Loving grandmother of Kyle (Rachel), Colin, Keanan, Moira, Emma, the late Aidan and Keira. Beloved sister of Ruth (the late Robert) Luczak, Harry (Phyllis) Ruhle, Emma (Allen) Rodesky and many nieces and nephews.
Mina was a graduate of Misericordia Nursing School before dedicating 50 years of service as a registered nurse. She spent 35 of those years at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Camden, NJ. She was also a past parishioner of St. Joan of Arc Parish in Fairview and more recently a parishioner of Sacred Heart Parish in Camden.
Mina was caring, quick-witted and the kind of person who made everyone feel loved. She was a devoted nurse, a joyful presence and our biggest fan. She loved her family with her whole heart and found so much joy in the simple things: her garden, a good book and a festive Christmas season.
Relatives and friends are invited to her viewing Friday, June 13, 6 PM to 8 PM at the FOSTER-WARNE FUNERAL HOME, 820 Haddon Ave., Collingswood, NJ and Saturday, June 14, 9 AM to 9:45 AM at Sacred Heart Catholic Church, 1739 Ferry Ave., Camden, NJ. Mass of Christian Burial will follow at 10 AM. Interment Calvary Cemetery, Cherry Hill, NJ.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations in her memory to Sacred Heart Catholic School c/o Sacred Heart Parish, 1739 Ferry Ave., Camden, NJ 08104.

I will never forget her wonderful laugh; hearing her laughter at work would instantly make me laugh too; I will never forget it or her nursing school story at her retirement party. Conversations in the OR lounge followed by words of wisdom made it easier to deal with difficult situations at work. Wow what a cool and kind lady. She was the type of caregiver one day I hope to be. My condolences to the Shannon family; you are all in my prayers, may God bless you.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the family. So sorry for your loss. She was such a wonderful person. She will be missed dearly I remember her at St Joan of Arc when my mother and I took care of her grandchildren in my mother's latchkey program. If there's anything that you need I am here for you.
