Life Story for
Samantha L. Greenman-Shotts (Greenman)
Nashville, MI
Samantha L. Greenman - Shotts
Ms. Samantha L. Greenman-Shotts, age 39, of Nashville, MI. passed away unexpectedly Wednesday, December 10th, 2014.
Samantha was born in Battle Creek, MI on November 30, 1975, the daughter of Michael and Gayle (Burd) Greenman.
She was raised in the Nashville area and attended local schools completing her education at Maple Valley High School. Samantha enjoyed being with people and enjoyed her job working as a Waitress at Shirley's Chuckwagon in Nashville. She took pride in her work and enjoyed a lively rapport with her customers.
She is survived by her two wonderful children, Samson Peter and Jonathan David Shotts.
Samantha was a very independent person who enjoyed working in her flower garden, cooking and caring for and spending time with her family. Samantha loved being a part of her sons' lives, especially watching them build and put things together around the house. Samantha was recently featured in the local newspaper as a first-time home buyer, in which local citizens assisted her in building new flowerbeds and doing other work on the outside of the house. This new project was something Samantha truly embraced as she took on the majority of the project by herself; transplanting specific plants for the yard and with the help of her sons, gutting the house to prepare for renovation.
Samantha is survived by her mother and father; her beloved sons; her two sisters, Amanda Greenman and Myranda Greenman-Woodbury; her brother Jeremy (Kristin) Greenman; Grandparents Arden (Virginia) Burd; several nieces and nephews (Patrick, Jake, Dakota, Patience, Grace, Noah); Aaron, Dan, Ben Tobias; special family friend Dan Carrigan; and her forever and lifelong friend Shilo (Mills) Taylor.
Funeral Services will be held at Nashville Baptist Church, Nashville, MI, at 11 AM on Monday, December 15th, with Lester DeGroot officiating. Interment will take place following the funeral luncheon at Wilcox Cemetery in Maple Grove Township.
The family will receive visitors on Sunday December 14th from 5-7 PM at The Daniels Funeral Home in Nashville. There will also be one hour of visitation prior to the funeral service beginning at 10 AM on Monday.
