Shannon Anne Kinsey

Shannon Anne (Wooley) Kinsey passed away suddenly at the age of 51 in Elgin, TX on November 7, 2021 of an unexpected heart attack. Shannon was born in Austin, Texas on June 2, 1970, the daughter of John Wooley and D’Anne (Waligore) Wooley (now Hargis). Shannon and her sister, Christi (Wooley) Skalka, were raised primarily in Austin, Texas, where Shannon graduated Austin High School in 1989. After graduation, Shannon attended Gary Job Corps Center in San Marcos where she earned a licensed vocational nurse certification. In 1995, Shannon gave birth to her daughter, Gabriella (“Gabby”) Anne Holt. Later in life, she reconnected with a friend of the family, Thomas Charles Kinsey (“TC”) and fell in love. TC and Shannon married in 2004, joined their families together and moved to Elgin, Texas. Shannon became a stay-at-home wife and full-time parent to her daughter, Gabby, and her step-daughters, Jessica and Jennifer Kinsey. One of Shannon’s favorite past-times was spending time at the beach – she loved going to the beaches in Florida, and also along the Texas Gulf Coast, to spend time with her family and deep-sea fishing with her husband, TC. It was at the beach that she became a passionate advocate for endangered sea turtles.
