Latice Nichole Parrish

LaTice Nichole Parrish was born August 4, 1988 to William “Bill” Parrish and Venetta Pauline Linton, in Des Moines, IA. She was educated in the Des Moines Public School System and graduated from Roosevelt High School in 2006. While in high school, LaTice served as Roosevelts Varsity Basketball Team Manager. She continued her studies at Des Moines Area Community College (Urban Campus).

LaTice was involved in the community activities from a young age. As a youth she was a member of the Isiserettes Drill Team and Drum Corps. She was also a debutante in the 2006 Alpha Kappa Alpha (AKA) Cotillion. Recently, LaTice played for the Iowa Crush womens football team. At a young age LaTice developed a strong work ethic working several jobs during her career. Most recently she served as the Campus Head Cook at her church, Lutheran Church of Hope+Elim. She could also be found helping customers fine tune their wardrobes at the Ralph Lauren Polo Outlet Store. From time to time she would also work large events as security at the Iowa Events Center. LaTice was full of life and joy. Her hobbies included cooking, making TickToc videos, traveling, singing and shopping. Above all she enjoyed spending time with her family. LaTice took pride in being a “TT” to the children in her family. She was also good for caring for and claiming children who weren't in her family as well. Plain and simple, LaTice was blessed with a big heart to help anyone she could, family or not. She also had a jovial personality that many grew to love soon after you met her. LaTice was raised in church. As an adult she joined Lutheran Church of Hope+Elim. She very much loved her church and church family. LaTice found peace and encouragement in the positive environment and the preached word.
