Beulah M. (Earnest) Shannon Aderhold

     Beulah M. Shannon Aderhold, 87, of Williamsport, passed away peacefully on Thursday, April 6, 2023, at The Williamsport Home.

     Born on July 26, 1935 in Lewistown, she was the daughter of the late Adam and Beulah (Weikel) Earnest.

     Beulah attended Montoursville school district, worked as a laborer at Sylvania, and was a member of the former Trinity United Methodist Church. Above all Beulah was a devoted mother and raised five children, instilling in them, the same values that she held dear.

     Beulah loved shopping, whether it was for clothes, home goods, or gifts for her loved ones. Beulah also enjoyed listening to music, playing Yahtzee, gambling at casinos, and trying her luck with scratch-off lottery tickets. Her passion for life, and fun-loving spirit was infectious, bringing joy to all who knew her.

     In 2003, Beulah suffered a stroke that limited her ability to communicate. However, she retained the ability to sing "Happy Birthday" and say "I love you," which her children will cherish forever. Despite the challenges she faced, Beulah leaves behind a legacy of love, kindness, and courage that will be cherished by her family and friends.

     Beulah is survived by her two sons, Phillip L. Shannon Jr. (Laraine), of Cogan Station, and Kenneth M. Shannon (Loretta), of Jersey Shore; three daughters, Terry B. Schriner (Steve), of Ulster, Brenda Shannon-Muniz (Robert), of Katy, Texas, and Brigette L. Winter (Larry), of Warrensville; ten grandchildren; and 26 great-grandchildren.

     In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her first husband, Phillip L. Shannon Sr.; her second husband, Wayne T. Aderhold; a grandson, Marshall Winter; and two brothers, Adam and Foster Earnest.
