Shantell was the life of a party.  She loved to dance to any music. She was a very straight forward, out spoken person. She loved to meet different people from everywhere, and those that she met would develop friendships that would be everlasting.  You could call on Shantell for anything, and she would try her best to make sure you had what you needed.  But most of all, she as a protector. Even though she is not here to be the protector, she will forever be our “Guardian Angel.”

Shantell is preceded in death by her mother, Evette Marshalle Saulsberry; and her grandmother, Merlene Sutherlin.

She leaves to cherish her memories her father, Rodney Sutherlin; her son, Phillip Harvey, Jr; her sister, Mequell Saulsberry, her nephew, LihTroye Saulsberry-McKnight, Jr; her grandmother, Patricia Johnson, and a host of other relatives and friends.
