FBI (May 8, 2015)–The 81-year-old owner of an Iowa egg production company and his son, a top executive in the business, are going to prison for bribing a federal food inspector and distributing eggs that contained Salmonella bacteria, which caused hundreds of consumers to become sick.

A federal judge in Iowa last month ordered the Quality Egg company to pay a $6.79 million fine and sentenced company owner Austin \”Jack\” DeCoster, and his son, Peter DeCoster, who was Quality Egg’s chief operating officer, to serve time in prison.

A beautiful, generous, loving girl, with beautiful blue eyes and a smile that could light up a room, Shannon always put others’ needs over her own. She loved wholeheartedly and wore her heart on her sleeve. She didn’t have much, but she would give without a second thought. Shannon had a unique sense of humor and loved to make people laugh. She was devoted to her family and friends, but especially her brothers, Shane and Shawn, there was nothing she wouldn‘t have done for them. In her spare time, Shannon loved to read, spend time at the beach, cheer the Dallas Cowboys on, loved listening to music, especially the group Heart and play on line Texas Hold ‘em, which she was very good at. Shannon will be remembered for the way she touched others with her gentleness and the beauty of her soul, for that is who she truly was.

Devoted Daughter of Terresa (nee Fox) and Shawn LaBance; Forever Friend of Donna Chiodi; Dear sister of Shane and Shawn; loving granddaughter to Dolores Fox and the late, James Fox, Jr., Robert LaBance and Kay Peiffer (nee Dunn). Shannon is survived bynephew, Jayden and loving aunts, uncles and cousins, whom she was very close with and spoke of often. She will also be missed by her adoring companions, Pikachu, Zoey, Bowser, Batman and Panda.
