DURHAM Ms. Shannon Lenoir Talton, 51, of Durham, died on Tuesday, April 3, 2018.
Mrs. Talton was a native and lifelong resident of Durham, the daughter of the late James Cephus Talton and Barbara Ann Marks Talton. Shannon graduated from Southern High School, from Brevard College with a degree in Music and from N.C. Central University with a B. A. in Psychology. She was Vice-President and a member of the Board of Directors of Splat Space, Durham, NC. She was an artist who enjoyed many crafts, especially silk painting, 3D printing and silk screening, which she taught from 2009-2013 at Tech Shop, Raleigh, NC. She played the flute; loved bird watching, especially hummingbirds, and enjoyed target practice with a variety of firearms.
She was a passionate, sensitive, and creative individual who always had her heart in the right place and would do anything for her family and friends. She firmly believed that people mattered more than ceremony. Her bright personality and caring nature pulled people towards her from all walks of life.
She is survived by her husband of 26 years, Eric Dale Roush; son, Martin Luther Talton Roush of Durham; daughters, Rachel Carson Talton Roush and Elizabeth Tudor Talton-Roush both of Durham; brother, Jay Talton of Burlington and sister, Beth Wynne of Swansboro.

Condolences:
Dear Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I taught Shannon at Southern High School. She was one of the most caring students I have ever taught. After graduating from Southern, we still were very good friends. I use to be in the Southern High School talent shows, for fun. During one show, I dressed up as Boy George. Shannon fixed my make up, and people actually thought I was a woman. I don't take the newspaper and just saw this online. My heart is saddened for all of you, but I know that Shannon is just fine. You are all in my prayers.Beth
my thoughts and prayers are with you family at this time, god speed. ooxxLiz, our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family. Words cannot express our sadness at the loss of your mother. We love you and are here for you.
The School for Creative Studies Family
