Tanisha Labossiere's Obituary
Tanisha Labossiere was born January 29th, 1974 in Anchorage, Alaska to Yvonne Gray and Nathan McReynolds. She attended Mountain View Elementary in Anchorage, Alaska and graduated from Bartlett High School in 1992. She attended the University of Alaska at Anchorage with a degree in Communications. Her first job after college was at Eagle Hardware, where she was appreciated as a smart, dedicated employee, so much so that she was in the company’s commercial. After joining Tri-Care for a few years, she later became a tour bus guide for Alaska Tours for several summers. She then went to work for Triwest, which resulted in a transfer to Tacoma, Washington. Tanisha then decided to follow her passion and became a Metro driver for the King County Metro of Seattle. She loved her Metro City family and was honored to service her community for the past seven years. She was cheerful with a pragmatic “tell it like it is” mentality, yet she was also very compassionate. Her sense if humor and witty sarcasm lightened the workplace, Tanisha was a fantastic Mom who was deeply devoted to her children, grandchildren, and family. Her desire was for her children to be happy and fulfilled. Her infectious smile and genuine concern for others left a positive impression with everyone. Tanisha’s beautiful legacy lives on in her children and all those who knew and loved her. Tanisha is survived by her husband Ellimaque Labossiere, her children Shante Jones, Tanisha Ward, Harvelle Lee Earl Jr., Jahkaria Gray and Nia Briscoe, her parents Yvonne Gray and Nathan McReynolds, and her ten siblings: Cleo Gray, Kapesia Gray, Rosland Bingham, Rowland Jackson, Damonta Gray, Anthony Bingham, Terrell Bingham, Shantrel Bingham, Treyvon Bingham, and JayShala Liverman. Tanisha will be missed by all her grandkids, nieces, nephews, and cousins. The family would like to thank everyone for their thoughtful words and prayers.
