Tanisha LaShanae Washic was born on May 10, 1975, in San Diego, California to Robert Lee “Bobbie C” Corbett and Linda Diane Williams in San Diego, California. As a child, Tanisha was very outgoing and seemed to be before her time. Tanisha’s passion to lead led her to explore different facets of life. Tanisha learned how to drive at 12 years of age. Whose car and which one of her cousins (Toshia) and friends (Tara) she was with, will remain a mystery.
Tanisha received her education in the San Diego Unified School District and worked various jobs as an In-Home Healthcare provider. She was a fierce protector of those she loved. She never backed down from a fight, yet she was well-mannered and had high respect for her elders until the day she took her last breath. Tanisha was compassionate and would help anyone in need. She would often reach into her pockets and pull money out to give to the homeless. This attribute most likely came from her grandmother, the late Aggie Mae Williams, who never met a stranger and provided a hot meal for all those who hungered.
Tanisha had a rich upbringing full of laughter, love, and family. Anyone and everyone knew that if you messed with one, you had to deal with them all. Tanisha’s mom had the hardest time trying to get her to stay at home. She absolutely loved being around her cousins. Tanisha had a funny sense of humor; she was a good cook, and she was the one who always led the pack in the next financial come-up. Some of her greatest moments were becoming a mom to her only daughter Danisha “Dae-Dae” Corbett; Tanisha met and married Bruce Washic in 1999. The two remained married for twenty-one years.
Tanisha’s earthly vessel came to an end on Friday, February 17, 2023. She was preceded in death by parents Robert Lee “Bobbie C” Corbett and Linda Diane Williams; and grandparents James Williams and Aggie Mae Williams. Left to cherish Tanisha’s memories are daughter Danisha, “Dae-Dae” Corbett; sister Mia Martin; nephew Alex Purifoy; niece Amaya Purifoy; step-in-father Trent Martin; ex-husband Bruce Washic; uncles Danny Williams (Sharon), Ernest Williams (Christie), and Bruce Martin; aunts LaVonne Lewis, Bobbie Williams, Lola Williams (James), and Wanda Coleman; along with a host of cousins and friends whose lives she touched.
