In her lifetime, Shantell was always willing to lend a helping hand, whether it was cooking a meal or planning a menu, building or helping anyone with a project, keeping history alive being the Curator at the Silver Cliff Museum.

Shantell couldn’t get enough reading and watching documentaries on any subject. Halie often referred to her as “The bottomless pit of useless information.” She also enjoyed cooking and trying all kinds of food. A self-taught Master Chef. Travel was one of her loves although she didn’t get to do it often. Shan also loved taking pictures of beautiful scenery, whether it be driving down the road or right off the front porch. One of her favorite ways to help friends and family was babysitting and watching little ones, but her greatest joy was spending time and playing with her niece, Paisley.
