A Time to be Born

Latash Matice Williams was born December 4, 1974, in Charleston, South Carolina to Aaron Banks and Deborah Williams. Latash was the sibling of three sisters, Trenise Williams, Jacqueline Starkes, Kimberly Glover and her baby brother James Gerald Pinckney Jr.

A Time to LIVE

Latash later earned her Associate degree in Medical Billing from Strayer University. She was employed by AmeriHealth Caritas and served diligently.

At an early age, Latash met her life partner John Collier Sumpter and birthed, nurtured and loved two beautiful loving and caring daughters, Jhn á and Jon-Niya. She also help to raise and spoil her goddaughter Desaree.

Latash selflessly gave to others with no limits, wanting nothing in return. Her girls were her everything, and she always wanted them to enjoy the finer and best things life had to offer.

Latash loved to travel and experience new places and different foods. She enjoyed 5 star dining and the best of hotels while traveling.

Latash loved her Lord and Savior, and she enjoyed her Gospel music.
