Shannan Wolverton

Shannan Wolverton was a resident of Wasilla, Alaska, who died on October 7, 2014, at the age of 47. Public records and contemporary local reporting identify her by name, age, and place of death; beyond those core facts, the public record available through news coverage and court reporting focuses on the circumstances surrounding her death rather than on a published obituary or extended personal memorial.

What can be respectfully affirmed is that Shannan was a real person with family ties in the Mat‑Su Valley. Contemporary reports identify her relationship to Michael Wolverton, and court coverage from later years references her as his daughter. Those relationships indicate she was part of a household and a family network in the Wasilla area.

Because no family‑authorized obituary or formal funeral notice matching her full name and the exact date of death (October 7, 2014) could be located in accessible obituary databases and local funeral‑home listings, there is limited verified information in the public record about Shannan’s early life, work, friendships, or personal interests. That absence does not diminish the fact of her life or the reality of the people who knew her: family members, neighbors, and friends who shared ordinary daily moments with her and who carried private memories that do not appear in public archives.

This page honors Shannan by centering her as a person first, not as a detail in news dispatches. Even when public sources are sparse, a life deserves to be treated with dignity. Those seeking to remember Shannan further — for example, to add family recollections, photographs, or details about her life and values — may wish to consult local funeral homes, family notices in the Mat‑Su Valley newspapers from October 2014, or reach out to relatives who can provide authorized memorial text. For the purposes of public record, the verified facts are provided here with care: Shannan Wolverton, age 47, of Wasilla, Alaska, died October 7, 2014. She is remembered here as an individual whose life mattered to others and who deserves a respectful place in memory.
