Chantelle Elizabeth "Belle" Shields
Our angelic little soldier has gone to be with our Lord on January 28, 2011, at the age of 21. She was born August 22, 1989, in Lansing. She graduated from Waverly High School in 2007, where she was active on the bowling team, the book club and was the yearbook editor. Chantelle was an avid fan of Backstreet Boys and Harry Potter; and was an artist and a nanny for her nephews, Ian, Aidan and Dayton.
She is survived by: mother, Lori Penton-Shields; father, Eric (Annette) Shields; sister, Christal Shields; brothers, Clayton VanderMoere, Curtis (Jessica) VanderMoere and Christopher (Annie) VanderMoere; grandmothers, Noreen (David) Steele and Frances “Nana” Muzillo; many aunts, uncles, cousins and special friends; and the dogs, Charleigh and Ecko. She was preceded in death by grandparents, George “Mike” Shields, H. Ronald Penton, and Janice Penton.
A memorial service will be held at 1:00 p.m. Thursday, February 3, 2011, at Holt United Methodist Church, 2321 Aurelius Rd., with The Rev. Dr. Glenn M. Wagner officiating. The family will receive friends at the Estes-Leadley Greater Lansing Chapel from 4-8 p.m. Wednesday. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Ronald McDonald House of Cleveland, OH, or Make-A-Wish Foundation in memory of Chantelle.

My deepest sympathy goes out to you. Chantelle is in a better place now, she is not suffering anymore. I know that everyone will be saying that to you, but I have seen Chantelle suffering and every other child with cancer and it is heart breaking. It is especially hard when you start out with them and end it with them. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Sue Bassett

My thoughts and prayers are with you and Belle’s extended family. I first met Belle when she was very very young. Lori and I were both on the Survivor’s Day Committee. Belle’s zest for life showed through, even when treatments had knocked her down. She left too early for all and had fought so hard. The memories of the miraculous life she lead will live on!

February 3, 2011 at 10:54 amLori, We are so sorry to hear of your loss. The kids from the pain program let us know. She touched so many hearts! Although we didn’t know her as long as many of your loved ones, she made a deep impression on us. Her courage and encouragement will long be remembered. May it comfort you to know she is no longer in pain, and the memories of her happy days will soothe your heart. She has been a blessing to all of us. We love you! Our prayers are with you and your family and we pray for His loving arms to be around you.
Love, Naomi and Jeff
