PORTLAND – Barbara L. (Mathews) Shannon’s magnificent life came to a close with family at her side, as the sun was setting on June 17, 2021.
Born in Portland on Oct. 9, 1926 to Ervin and Edna Mathews, Barb soon moved with her parents to Campobello, New Brunswick Canada. Barb would tell stories of island life that included watching whales with her grandfather, playing with cousins and friends and beginning school in Canada. In the fourth grade the family moved to Eastport. On that day a boy in her class went home and told his mother that “a girl moved to town from Campobello and I’m going to marry her”. True to his word Barb and Kenneth J. Shannon were wed in Eastport on Oct. 1, 1945.
