Psalm 23: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”

With our deepest love and most cherished memories. We announce the passing of LaTasha Tennille Sutherland-Geason, who departed her worldly life and transitioned to her heavenly home on Thursday, October 2, 2025.

Tasha, a native of Vacherie, Louisiana and resident of Addis, Louisiana, was born August 23, 1976, to the late Clinton Sutherland, Jr., and Elaine Jones-Sutherland. She was united in holy matrimony to the absolute love of her life, Terrence Geason. Young love beginning in 1992 grew into a union of one in 2005. From this union, 3 beautiful, amazing and wonderful children were born: Ellayna I. Sutherland, Terren A. Geason and Tren A. Geason.

Tasha attended St. James High School. She dedicated herself to several fulfilling careers. She worked as a product handler/ operator, with multiple companies, later finding her calling as a Logistics Dispatcher with LoadStar (Baton Rouge, LA).

Her life was a beautiful blend of entrepreneurship, strength, passion, stamina, love, photography, creativity, and adventure. She embraced TikTok, delighted in new foods, planting, shopping, and traveling near and far. Yet, her greatest joy came from her devotion to family, friends, and the precious moments she shared with her grandchildren, she affectionately called her, “Saving Grace.”

LaTasha’s life was like a beautiful song, filled with lullabies of a true WARRIOR, a phenomenal woman, breast cancer survivor/advocate and beloved soul. Diagnosed with Stage 1 Breast Cancer in 2015; she faced a battle with unwavering strength. Fierce determination, the heart of a fighter. She was creative, a proud grandparent and was not afraid to try new things. Tasha was definitely a renaissance woman. She met every challenge with grace and courage, never allowing her illness to define her spirit. A survivor in every sense, she beat every fight and inspired everyone around her to adopt her resiliency. LaTasha’s legacy of strength, love, and perseverance will live on, in the hearts of all who knew her.

LaTasha is survived by her loving and devoted husband, Terrence Geason and their children: Ellayna I. Sutherland, Terren A. Geason and Tren A. Geason.

A TRIBUTE TO MY WIFE

Tasha,
I cannot put into words how much you truly mean to me. If I were to try to describe you, here’s what I’d say. You were: feisty and loveable, we did everything together, you loved me, the kids and grand kids with every last breath in you. We have stuck together since 1992 and although it's hard to put things into words, you were my life, my rock and my entire world. I love you and will miss you dearly.
