Shannon Laura Kulawik

Shannon Laura Kulawik, beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend, passed away unexpectedly on May 17, 2026, at the age of 41 in Champlin, Minnesota. Born on February 21, 1985, to Mitchell and Mary Kulawik, Shannon grew up in Sioux City, Iowa, where she developed the quick wit, big heart, and strong spirit that would define her throughout her life. She attended college in Omaha, Nebraska, graduating cum laude with degrees in both nursing and journalism - a reflection of both her intelligence and her compassion for others. In 2014, Shannon made Minnesota her home, where she built a remarkable career as a registered nurse and clinical operations leader. She was respected not only for her professionalism and leadership but for the genuine care and kindness she showed every patient, family, and coworker she encountered. But above all else, Shannon was a mom. Her daughter, Sophie, was the greatest joy of her life. Shannon loved fiercely - her family, her friends, and yes, especially her dogs. Anyone who knew her knew how much happiness she found in simply being home with Sophie and the dogs, laughing together and enjoying the comfort of being surrounded by them. Shannon had a way of making people feel lighter just by being around her. She was known for her sharp sense of humor, her terrible dancing, her love of naps, and her ability to make any moment more fun. She loved Twins games, horse races, concerts with friends, and especially now with Sophie, since they had finally started liking the same music. Those moments together meant everything to her. She was preceded in death by her father, Mitchell Kulawik; her nephew, Jackson Kulawik; and her most beloved dog, Boxie. Shannon will be deeply missed and forever loved by her daughter, Sophie Camp; her mother, Mary Kulawik; her sister, Kasia Netley and nephew Easton; her brothers Mitch, Craig (Catie), and Chris Kulawik; her nieces and nephews Caiden, Finley, Jacob, Ambrose, Brandon, and Amara; Peter Camp (Sophie's father) along with many other loving family members and countless friends whose lives were better because she was part of them. A private memorial service is being held with only family and a celebration of Shannon's life will be held at a later date for all who loved her. In lieu of flowers, memorials are preferred.
