Shreda was blessed with a large and loving family. She was a widow of James Banks, formerly of Odessa, TX. She had 4 children, Sherill Sanders, Sheree Martin, Stephen Sanders, and Becky Biggerstaff. She had 15 grandchildren and 29 great-grandchildren.
Shreda moved to Washington state in her later years where she pursued her passion for gardening and cooking. She thoroughly enjoyed the scenic view of mountains from her back yard. Moving to Washington helped satisfy her love for travel.

Her dogs, Stacy and Bella were highly spoiled and world traveled.
