RaShonda Danette Clark Sullivan was born September 11, 1985. Shonny, as she was known to most, was a resident of Longview, Texas, formerly of Kilgore. She was was a certified nursing assistant who dedicated her life to caring for others, especially the elderly. She worked for Healing Hearts Home Health until her health began to decline, and then devoted her time to being a loving wife, mom, daughter, sister, and friend.

Shonny loved her kids, cooking, music, and swimming. Cooking was her therapy, and she enjoyed trying new recipes and making others smile with her food. She loved shopping, giving gifts, and taking selfies-she was truly the selfie queen. Her dogs, Chloe, Daisy, and Poncho, were also a big part of her life. When Shonny walked into a room, her bright personality and laughter filled it instantly.

Shonny passed away at the age of 40 on October 5, 2025. She was preceded in death by her grandparents, Deane and Herbert Griffith and her father, Bobby Clark.

She is survived by her husband of 14 years, Joey Sullivan; her children, Bladen "Blay" Gardner, Preslee "Press" Clark, and Bailey "Baybay" Sullivan; her mother, Tanya Stokes Hunter; stepfather, Randy Hunter; brothers, Shadow (Collin) Stokes and Bucky Duke; and her niece, Harlow Stokes; along with many cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.

A celebration of life will be held in the near future - Details will be added soon.
