Shagala was raised up from a child in the will of God and taught the word of God through different ministries. She became a member of Holy Divine Spiritual Church at a young age and was very active. She was very outgoing. She loved music and singing. Shagala moved to Camden in 1998 and worked at A&M Tech until her health started to fail. She soon became a member of Spirit Led Ministries and joined the praise team. She was devoted until she moved to Bryant. Because of her illness, she moved to Hot Springs with her mother. In September she moved back to her hometown, Monticello, and on December 25, 2015 God called her home to a place of everlasting rest.

Little Rock, AR, AR Sunday, January 3, 2016 Dear family of Ms. Shalala Grays,I understand that few words may bring you comfort during these trying and difficult times. My family and I would like to offer you a measure of comfort and peace in the words of Isaiah 41:10, which tells us, "Do not be afraid, for I am with you. Do not be anxious, for I am your God. I will fortify you, yes, I will help you, I will really hold on to you with my right hand of righteousness." Isaiah 25:8 helps us to see that our Almighty God is more powerful than death, and He will soon "swallow up death forever." May the loyal love of Jehovah pursue you and your family during these difficult times. Psalms 23:6.
