In Loving Memory of Tarshia

Tarshia was just 33 years old when she passed, leaving behind her two beloved sons, Deyonte and De’Andre, who were her whole world. She loved them unconditionally and, despite her health challenges, remained hopeful, strong, and full of life.

Tarshia was funny and bubbly — the life and soul of every party. The small things meant everything to her, and she was always grateful for even the simplest gestures. She hadn’t had the easiest life, but where that could have made someone bitter, Tarshia remained soft, kind, and full of warmth. She was approachable, friendly, and always willing to help others, no matter how little she had herself. She had dreams of travelling and building a career, but sadly her illness meant she was never able to fulfil those aspirations.

Tarshia was in the UK without close family around her. During this incredibly difficult time, we are trying to bring her mother over so she can lay her daughter to rest. This will require securing a visa and funding travel, which her mother is not in a financial position to manage alone.

As Tarshia was still young and optimistic about her recovery, no funeral arrangements or financial plans had been put in place. We are therefore asking for any support, big or small, to help cover funeral costs and to make it possible for her mother to be here.

If you knew Tarshia, or if her story has touched you, any contribution would be deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your kindness, support, and for helping us give Tarshia the farewell she deserves
