Mrs. Latara Shawnique Goggins,

March 12, 1987 - December 30, 2020

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. On December 30, 2020 Tara left us to be with her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ where she was reunited with those who left us earlier: grandmother Josephine Goggins; uncle Michael Goggins; and cousins Sherell Dean, Shanile Goggins, Andrea McDaniel. Latara is survived by her husband, Lee; her loving and devoted parents Marguerite and Edward; her sister Brenne McCoy; brother Darius Goggins; (bonus sister) Matoyia Harris; grandmother Marian Benita Tisdale; grandfather Hillman Goggins; Aunts Danette Gayle; Malynda Goggins (Peter); Marsha Goggins; Michele Goggins; Uncles Martin Goggins; Marc Goggins (Raquel); Marvin Goggins (Lisa) and Morris Goggins and a host of cousins, great-cousins and friends.
