As you are all well aware, Shannell passed away on the 18th of September surrounded by her loved ones after a short battle with cancer.

Shannell's celebration of life took place on the 30th of September in Raceview (Qld) where over 300 people attending the service including many from Progress Rail Redbank. Many more were online as the celebration was live streamed.

Shannell last wish was to rest in peace in the beautiful village of Tokaanu overlooking Lake Taupo in New Zealand and she is starting her trip back home on Thursday 2nd of September.

Shannell' children (Bailey 22, Mariah 20, Nathan 15 & Raven 13) have been very strong and will be making the trip to New Zealand to say a last goodbye to their mum.

The costs of travel are very high, and I do believe the Progress Rail family can "chip" in and support once last time our beloved Shannell. 100% of the funds will be going to the 4 kids.
