LaTonia Reed

April 16, 1976 - November 25, 2017

On April 16, 1976, LaTonia Shenae Reed was born in Saint Louis, Missouri to the proud parents of Evelyne Hemphill and Roosevelt Reed III. She was the only child. Her father Roosevelt Reed III preceded her in death. She accepted Christ as her personal Savior at the tender age of 13 at Lively Stone Church of God. She was educated in the Saint Louis County Public Schools, where she attended Lindbergh High School. LaTonia was a hard worker and took great pride in everything she done. She was the source of strength and inspiration to all family and friends who encounter her throughout her life. She was a strong woman that would help anyone and had a heart of gold like no other. She was a genuine and compassionate woman who always provided a solution to a problem. LaTonia was a certified nurse that developed a personal relationship with her coworkers and clients. She would go out her way to express her love in a text, on social media, a phone call, an ear to listen, or a shoulder to lean on. She was the go to person to research for information regarding personal affairs. She was a trendsetter with her colorful hair styles slayed by LaQuita Pope and she loved her tennis shoes. Her mother Evelyn was her right hand. When you see one you seen the other. LaTonia had no children but a mother too many. She spent her days supporting and nurturing her family, friends and clients. She was one of a kind God Earth Angel and will genuinely be missed. Our beloved LaTonia Shenae Reed departed this life on Saturday morning, November 25, 2017. LaTonia leaves to cherish her memories: her loving mother and step father Evelyn Hemphill and Lee Hemphill; five aunts Georgia Staples, Barbara Martin, Rosetta Cook, Irene (Eugene) Blue, and Sarah (Barney) Gray; two uncles Eddie (Betty) Flakes Jr., and Joseph (Cheryl) Flakes; her God father Gerald Jones; 3 special friends Larry Hill, Ruthie Holmes, and Liz Jefferson, and a host of cousins, other relatives, friends, and God children.
