Shannon Marie Duhon

Maurice - Shannon Marie Simon Duhon, age 48, went peacefully to her Heavenly home on Thursday, September 1, 2022, at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital after a years long and courageous battle with cancer. Shannon was born on January 19, 1974, in Metairie, LA. She moved to the Leroy/Maurice area with her parents at a young age and attended local schools there. She graduated from North Vermillion High School in 1992, where she loved being in the color guard and participating in the Science Fairs. She later obtained certification in medical insurance filing and billing. She worked in this profession for many years under Dr. Mike Mounir in Lafayette. Shannon most enjoyed helping in the family orchard, reading books, playing video games with family, taking long car rides, sitting on her front porch watching and helping her husband grill something delicious, and visiting family and friends. She loved dining at her favorite Mexican, Greek, and Sushi restaurants. Her favorite vacations were snow skiing in Colorado and the “Make a Wish Foundation” trip to Disney World, Florida. In between illness treatments, she loved running 5k’s with her son and her father. Shannon never seemed sad; she had her moments but she was relentlessly positive. She never had a bad word to say about anyone. She was strong and bright like her favorite flower, the Sunflower. Shannon was a devoted wife and loving mother. She leaves behind the loves of her life, her husband, Troy Anthony Duhon, the son of Larry and Phyllis (Sonnier) Duhon of Meaux; her children, Chloe and Aaron Primeaux; her stepchild, Hailey Duhon; and her many beloved fur babies (especially Pepper). She is also survived by her parents, Lynn and Belinda (Brown) Simon of Leroy; her sisters, Lindsay (Aaron) Watson and Ashley (Derek) Broussard; her nieces and nephews, Cora Watson, Maggie Broussard, Riley Broussard, Aiden Broussard, Todd Watson, Noah Watson; both sets of her grandparents, Donald and Wanda (Sherman) Simon of Abbeville; Gayle and Dorethea (Bernard) Brown of Perry and Esther; and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends. She was greeted in Heaven by extended family members, James “Jimmy” Geisinger, Richard and Lucille “Granny” (Mizell) Geisinger; great grandparents, Hazard and Claudia (Breaux) Simon of Leroy, Francois and Hazel (Simon) Sherman of Abbeville, Shen Hugh and Irene (Stansbury) Brown of Perry, as well as Raywood and Eta (Primeaux) Bernard of Esther.
