In Memory of Dr. Shonny Bria
09/02/1947 – 11/24/2021
Shonny Bria, age 74, of Litchfield Park Arizona, passed away on Wednesday, November 24, 2021.
Memorial
Our former Superintendent of seven years, Dr. Shonny Bria passed away in late November.
We attempted to hold a Celebration of Life and Memorial for her in early January, but the COVID pandemic was spiking at that time, and we made the gut-wrenching, though we believe correct decision to postpone the celebration.
With warmer weather and the number of COVID cases hovering around the lowest numbers since the beginning of the pandemic, we are going to try again.
If you are able, please join us on Saturday, May 21, 2022 for a Celebration of Life and Memorial for Dr. Bria.
The event will be held at the Historic Grand Canyon Community Building (1), near Maswik Lodge, next to the mule barn, across the street from the Backcountry Office parking lot, at the intersection of Village Loop Drive and South Village Drive. (See map and parking in the announcement linked below.)
The event will begin at 12:00 noon, and consist of a formal live celebration, followed by a catered lunch and loosely structured, more intimate opportunity to share with many others how Shonny touched your life.
No registration needed, but if I you are planning on attending, a count of people in your party would help with the catering order.
If you cannot join us, but would like to share a short story of how Shonny touched your life, please send them me to toconnor@grandcanyonschool.org address and we will incorporate it into the event, so that your presence will be felt even if you are not able to attend.
I encourage you to share this with anyone you are aware of who was touched by Shonny.
