SHANNON Shannon Dye is thankful for each new day. She wakes up ready to take on the world, or at least her corner of it. She does everything with intention, and in her work as a real estate agent, she is patient and supportive. “I have been so loved in my life and I want to share that with others.” An only child, Shannon says her parents adored her. She grew up in northeast Jackson where she attended First Presbyterian Day School and Jackson Preparatory School. “I had a great childhood.” She knew about Hamp Dye when she was in the sixth grade. “He lived in my neighborhood.” They began attending the same school when they were in the eighth grade, but Shannon says she didn’t like him. “It was silly. He was the favorite student of a teacher who intimidated me; therefore I didn’t like him.” They began dating their senior year of high school, and both went on to attend Ole Miss. “My parents went to Ole Miss and they hoped for great things for me. But the truth is, I went to Ole Miss to have fun and to marry Hamp Dye. I succeeded at both!”
