Regional Coordinators
Tienne Wilkin is the SGM NE Ohio Regional Coordinator, serving the Cleveland, Medina, Akron, and surrounding areas. Tienne Wilkin and her husband Jeff are the parents of 5 children who fill their home with laughter, home-schooling, various sports, and busyness. They also parent 2 who spend their days in the arms of Jesus. Because of the two babies in heaven, Tienne has chosen to comfort others walking a similar path of joy and sorrow. She has served with Sufficient Grace Ministries since late 2013. She is a certified SGM Comfort Doula, Rebozo Certified, and an SGM Remembrance photographer.
“My greatest desire is to have the chance to celebrate and document the lives of babies in NE Ohio that are born sleeping, too soon, or with a shortened life expectancy. I love caring for every baby and family that God allows me to meet with.”

Shannon was born and raised in Medina, Ohio, and currently lives in Summit county with her husband and children. She is married to her wonderful husband John, and they are the parents of nine! They have five children who live here on earth. Simone, Bradley, Shayne, Abbygale, and Aubrey each bring them so many laughs, smiles, and joy amongst the craziness that a large family brings. Shannon and John also have four babies who were born sleeping far too soon. Their babies were born at 13 wks (Jeremiah), 8 weeks (Angel Baby Sasseville), 15 weeks (Sarah Jane. She is Abby’s Identical twin sister), and they also lost a precious baby at 5 weeks gestation. She honors their angel babies with the sacred work we do with Sufficient Grace Ministries.
