Shanna Elaine Wakefield

May 28, 1949 - May 2, 2022

Shanna Elaine Wakefield, 73, Sister, Mom, Grandma, Aunt, and friend, passed away surrounded by family members on May 2, 2022 following several months of ill health. Shanna was born on May 28, 1949 in Mt. Pleasant, Utah. She was the baby of the family and enjoyed letting everyone know. She was the 13th child and the only one in her family to be born in a hospital. She was the daughter of Levi Alden & Fontella White Simons. She had 7 sisters and 5 brothers. She is survived by her dog Zoe, Boyce (brother) and Deann Simons, Gayle Strong (Sister), Rosalie Simons (sister-in-law) Pauline Simons (sister-in-law), Brian Wakefield (son), Chandler (Grandson) and many nieces and nephews that loved her dearly. Shanna moved around a lot when she was growing up and attended schools in Mt. Pleasant, Mapleton, Springville, Orem, and Provo Utah. She graduated from Provo high school in 1968. Growing up and in her adult years she always had a pet, including cats and dogs. She spoiled them and swore they talked to her. She loved gardening and all kinds of flowers. She was an immaculate housekeeper and was always painting and remodeling wherever she lived. Shanna loved sports cars, especially her “little blue Z”. Shanna married and had two children, Glade and Brian. She later divorced. Shanna had a dry, feisty sense of humor and always told people what she thought. She was a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. She became close to her Father in Heaven during the last year of her life. Graveside services will be held on Wednesday, May 11, 2022 at 2:00 pm at Mt. Pleasant Cemetery, located at 115 W Main St, Mt Pleasant, UT.  Funeral Directors: Utah Valley Mortuary.
