Shantell Rashay Brass graced the Earth with her beautiful and loving presence on June 21, 1970. "Shan", as she was lovingly called by family and friends, was born and raised in Houston, Texas to proud and loving parents, Herman Williams and Loyce Brass Williams. She received her formal education from the local school system in Houston, proudly graduating from Jack Yates High School, Class of 1989.

With the blessing of being raised in a home of love and faith, Shantell accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Jerusalem Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas, by the Late Reverend D. Leon Everett, II. She later joined Higher Dimension Church in Houston, Texas, and after moving to Midland, Texas, joined Faith Home of the Living God.Shantell was always a hard worker loved by everyone she worked with. Her most recent employer was the Midland International Air and Space Port.

In her leisure time, she loved to go fishing, playing and watching sports, and being around family and friends. Most knew her as a fan of the Denver Broncos, but she was really an avid Payton Manning fan. Throughout Junior High and High School, she played basketball, volleyball and ran track.
