She loved music, always spoke positive words of encouragement to those she loved. As small as her stature was, she would kick a rock about hers. Very Feisty.

She will be lovingly remembered by her mother, Brithine Sanders; sisters, Rickie Black of Grand Rapids, Barbara Black of Grand Rapids, Letisa Dorris of Ohio; daughters, Shannon Black of Ohio, Trevea Black of Grand Rapids, Mercedes Gant of Grand Rapids, Khaleelah Childs of Mariette, Georgia; grandchildren, Mychael Daniel, A’Lonta Brown, Jonte’ Gant, Makiayiah Gant, Zarieh Pearson, Anais Pearson, D’Amonte’ Brown, Kasey Childs, Ja’Lonta Black; six great grandchildren; two very special friends, Anthony Gant and Charles Bonnett; along with a host of cousins, friends and family.
