She was born on November 27th 1942 in Athens Tennessee to Tomie and Mary Sutton. Shannen married Bobby Grubb on November 24th 1958 then began to raise a family she has always wanted.
Shannen took pride in her job as a machine operator at Martindale Electric Company, where she retired from in 2003 and moved to North Carolina. Shannen was a dedicated mother and she took pride in raising a close knit family, in which we are extremely grateful. She enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, cooking, looking at recipes on Facebook, watching soap operas and playing with her dogs Lacey, Cagney and Odie. Shannen loved to reminisce and tell stories to her grandchildren. Shannen loved reading her bible and teaching the word of God to anyone that would listen, and even those who didn’t.

Although the family is grieving at the loss of the matriarch of their family, Shannen was prepared to meet Jesus and be reunited with her family and friends she has been missing for so long. Shannen was ready to be in a new body, in which she would no longer have any pain. “Mom may have not been able to walk yesterday, but she is running today”. She may be gone, but she will forever watch over her family and guide us to the right decisions from heaven.
