In Memoriam: Latisha “Tish” Vasquez

This is a heavy one. Healdsburg High graduate Latisha “Tish” Vasquez, who was born and raised in Cloverdale and Healdsburg but had been living in Oregon recently, just took her own life at age 26, according to family friend Brenda Norberg. She was “loved by many in this community,” Brenda writes on Facebook. And a relative has started a GoFundMe to help cover the family’s costs related to her death. From the fundraising page: “We are devastated to have to share this news. A very important person in our family’s life, LaTisha Juanita Vasquez, aka Tish to friends and Sis to family, is no longer with us. She took her life on May 26th and we are all struggling to come to terms with this. … As you can imagine with such a very unexpected departure from this world, comes the very sudden need to gather funds to help her family handle her final expenses. She was living in Salem Oregon so there are extra fees involved in getting her home and it was her wish to not be cremated. So in an effort to honor her last wishes we would like to gather enough funds to cover or at least help cover these expenses without putting the family into debt. … Thank you in advance for taking the time to view, share and help honor OUR GIRL <3.” (Source: GoFundMe & Facebook Groups & Brenda Norberg via Facebook)
