Latosha Lee Matthews Henderson went to be with her Lord and Savior Tuesday, November 13, 2018, in Crafton, at 35, after a valiant battle with triple negative breast cancer.

Latosha was born January 3, 1983, in Washington. Latosha was a 2001 graduate of Trinity High School and also received a bachelor’s degree in humanities from the University of Pittsburgh. She made a profession as a customer care representative at CVS/Caremark.

Latosha had a sweet and kind spirit. Although she was fighting breast cancer, she lived life to the fullest. No matter the obstacle, she always had a smile on her face. Latosha had a strong will to live, unwavering faith in God and the love and prayers of family and friends. Yet even throughout her own struggle with cancer, she reached out to others affected by the horrendous disease in many ways, including participating in the 2018 Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure and advocating for clinical trials for breast cancer research through the Glock Foundation.

Latosha was a member of Grace Tabernacle Community Ministries, where she served as a member of its choir and Women’s Ministry. She also co-labored to develop the church’s childcare and learning center.

Latosha is survived by her husband, Lance Henderson Sr.; son Lance Henderson Jr. and daughter Leah Rose Henderson; mother Rose Johnson and stepfather Mason Johnson Jr. of Washington; sister Tara Armstead (Tony) of Cecil; and a host of aunts, uncles, nephews and cousins.

Deceased are her father, Donald Matthews, who died October 13, 2018; and grandmother Rosella Brown, who died in July 2016.

Friends will be received from 10 to 11 a.m., the time of a going home celebration, Saturday, November 24, in Grace Tabernacle Community Ministries, 43 Belvidere Street, Crafton, PA 15205. Pastor Tony Armstead will officiate the service. All are welcome to attend and celebrate Latosha’s life.

Arrangements are under the direction of Lantz Funeral Home Inc., Uniontown, PA 15401, 297 East Main Street, Uniontown, PA 15401, www.lantzfh.com.

Condolences may be sent to Grace Tabernacle Community Ministries, 43 Belvidere Street, Crafton, PA 15205.
