Shubella grew up in Denver, Colorado where she gave birth to Ashly, Aliesha, & Allison and then she later returned to Enid, Oklahoma where she & Curtis Lofton Sr. raised their children. If you seen Shubella you seen her children as they were always together with the given name of “Shubella kids” or some called them “The Lofton’s” she had a-lot of kids, God blessed her with a large family, & she did her best to take care of her family. She loved them very much and she would always speak of how very proud she was of them all.
Shubella & Curtis Sr. always encouraged their children to never give up, keep going every day is another day at a chance to win, to always encourage one another and to stick together as a family.
Shubella was funny and loved to laugh she often would tell jokes she loved to see people smile, she was also very much bossy as she is the oldest of her parent’s children. She was no one’s push over she demanded to be treated right she talked fast and was known for her fast talking she may have cursed too, no matter what she was kindhearted. She loved to dance when going out she would receive VIP treatment she didn’t have to wait in a line to get in, she was the most fun to go out dancing with she loved nice clothes and nice cars most of all she loved her children they would all share in saying "ooohh there goes my motorcycle or favorite car" while driving down the street or having the excitement of Curtis Lofton Sr. buying them new cars, & they enjoyed family time and vacations, Shubella loved clothes shopping with her daughters at her favorite stores. Her memories were with family, friends, and her children through them she will live on for generations and generations.
