Latara Shawnique Goggins, affectionately called “Tara” was born on March 12, 1987 in Baltimore, MD to Marguerite Goggins and Edward Armstrong. Latara was educated in the Baltimore City Public School system and received her high school diploma. Latara had a dramatic flair for life and a larger than life kind spirit that was evident with everyone she came in contact with. She was an extremely compassionate and loving person, always looking forward to spending time with family, friends and meeting new people. Latara had many talents and skills, but was happiest with working with people. She spent years of her life working as a “caregiver”. Latara was baptized at a very young age at Emmanuel Freewill Baptist Church. She rededicated her life to Christ after she married her husband Lee Townes on February 13, 2015. They were then baptized together in 2018.
