Shantianna V Williams

My name is Shantianna Vantress Harris-Williams, also known as "Chocolate Overload".  I was born to the most beautiful parents, Anthony and Angela Williams in Longview, Texas with my siblings, Carolyn Michelle Harris-Williams, Taniesha Nicole Harris-Reed and Trayci Fields.  My grandmother is Shirlene Harris.

I always attended church, growing up at Greater Faith Temple of Longview, Texas and Victory Temple of Kilgore Texas. I was an usher and the best drummer in the nation.  Of course, I had the dance moves for praise dancing and the vocals that would have shut down Sunday’s best. Most of all, I was the proud coach of the sensational "Prancerettes" of Longview, Texas.

I finished my education at Longview High School in the graduating class of 2009 and took a successful journey into entrepreneurship. I received my degree from Kilgore College and became a Paramedic, a Physical Therapist, and a "Boss and Business" lady for all your needs. I was a one stop shop!

I am preceded in death by my handsome and God-fearing father, Anthony Williams; cousin, Nero Bradley; grandpa, Client Harris; grandparents, John and Mary Williams, and Author Lee and Ruby Reed; aunt, Debra Bradley; and my best friend, Paul Shipman.

I would love to leave this memorable smile, my golden heart, and not to forget, my dripping outfits and shoe taste to my mother, Angela Williams and my feisty granny, Shirlene Reed.  I will never forget my special lady, Sierra Jones, and my 5 children that I did not push out, Ameri Harris, Cruz Pellum, Kaliyah Pearson, Willow Fitzpatrick and Tru Rudd; the family of Edward, Carla and Client Harris; my sophisticated fussy sister, Carolyn Michelle Williams; my "partner in crime" sister, Taniesha Nicole Harris Reed; and nevertheless, Trayci Washington. I love my sisters dearly to my heart and I will always be with you to make you laugh. My two favorite cousins are Marketa Best and Kiema Harris ... I love y’all and do not tell my secrets; my handsome cousins, Cederick Harris, Edward, CJ and "Bam-Bam"; my Uncle Buck dump truck; my family in Tenaha, Texas and North Carolina; and Uncle Nelson for keeping daddy's promise and looking after us. I am running out of air but if I forgot anyone, you know I’ll miss you too. 

Do not be sad for me today.  Please think of all our turned up happy moments and good times. I have tapped out on all the luxury vacations, outfits, diamonds, and of course, my sexy chocolate gracing your eyes. Now I will watch over you and dance and see who can out dress me! 

Love,

"Chocolate Overload"

P.S.  Let us begin a new chapter together and always forgive, laugh, boss up, and of course, keep God first!!!
