Telisha was the oldest of five kids and brought so much warmth and love to everyone around her. She married Daniel in 2007, and together they raised two wonderful sons, Riley and Elijah. Telisha was the heart of her family and fiercely loved by her boys. Her sudden passing on February 5, 2026, has left a hole in all of our lives, and our hearts are broken.
Daniel, her husband, has been laid off for the past seven months and has been searching for work. Without health insurance and with limited resources, the family is facing significant financial challenges. This GoFundMe is organized by Telisha's siblings—Dalynn, Kristin, Duke, and Cody—to support funeral expenses, and any remaining funds will go toward helping Daniel and the boys with their living costs as they adjust to life without Telisha.
We are reaching out to our community for support during this incredibly difficult time. Any help you can offer—whether it’s a donation or simply sharing this fundraiser—would mean the world to us. Thank you for helping us honor Telisha’s memory and support her family as they navigate this heartbreaking loss.
