Latosha Lee Matthews Henderson went to be with her Lord and Savior Tuesday, November 13, 2018, in Crafton, at 35, after a valiant battle with triple negative breast cancer. Latosha was born January 3, 1983, in Washington, PA. Latosha was a 2001 graduate of Trinity High School and also received a bachelor’s degree in humanities from the University of Pittsburgh. She made a profession as a customer care representative at CVS/Caremark.

Latosha had a sweet and kind spirit. Although she was fighting breast cancer, she lived life to the fullest. No matter the obstacle, she always had a smile on her face. Latosha had a strong will to live, unwavering faith in God and the love and prayers of family and friends. Yet even throughout her own struggle with cancer, she reached out to others affected by the horrendous disease in many ways, including participating in the 2018 Susan B. Komen Race for the Cure and advocating for clinical trials for breast cancer research through the Glock Foundation.

Latosha was a member of Grace Tabernacle Community Ministries, where she served as a member of its choir and Women’s Ministry. She also co-labored to develop the church’s childcare and learning center.

Latosha Henderson’s wished to inform all women about the importance of having breast exams, proper health care treatment and to consider the possibility of participating in a breast cancer clinical trial if ever diagnosed. Latosha’s wish and deep friendship with Carol Glock has prompted the Glock Foundation to start the Latosha Henderson Glock Foundation Breast Cancer Initiative in the African American Community to honor and fulfill Latosha’s wishes.

We are honored to have Latosha’s husband Lance, Sr. her children Lance Jr. and Leah Rose, and mother Rose Johnson, sister and brother-in-law Tara Armstead and Tony Armstead supporting this initiative.
