LaToya Beasley

LaToya Beasley, a beloved mother, grandmother, sister, and friend, passed away on April 12, 2025, in her hometown of Texarkana, Texas. She was born on August 14, 1981, and spent her life dedicated to the care and growth of others, a passion that shined brightly throughout her career as a Special Education Aid for the Texarkana Independent School District.

LaToya's heart was always open and welcoming; she found immense joy in working with children. Her nurturing spirit and unwavering support made her a cherished figure among coworkers, students, and families alike. LaToya's love extended beyond the classroom to her own family, where she devoted herself wholeheartedly as a mother to her children, Tiona, Teralyn, and Terrance Jr., and as a proud grandmother to her grandson, Talon.

LaToya is survived by her loving children, Tiona Chatman, Teralyn Chatman, and Terrance Chatman Jr., as well as her cherished grandson, Talon Hawthorne. She leaves behind her father, Robert Beasley and Renea, her brothers, Robert Beasley Jr. and wife Kristina, Eric Strickland Jr., and her sisters, Anita Beasley Franklin and Chante Strickland. LaToya was also blessed with many nieces, nephews, and friends, all of whom will carry the memories of her warm spirit and infectious laughter.

Though LaToya faced the profound sadness of losing her own mother, Patricia Johnson Beasley, her resilience and love for life were a testament to her strong character. LaToya's dedication to her family and her community will forever be remembered, and her attractive personality that endeared her to so many will linger in their hearts.

LaToya Beasley leaves a legacy of compassion, dedication, and love that will be cherished by all who had the privilege to know her. She will be profoundly missed, yet her spirit will live on in the lives she touched and the love she shared.

Services will be held on April 24th at 11 AM at Mount. Zion Church on Lake Dr. 

Arrangements are under the direction of Tri-State Cremation and Funeral Services.
