Latanya was born on August 12, 1973 to parents, Bill Hogue and Lauren Allen. She was born and raised in Kansas City, Missouri which is where she met her high school sweetheart, Acel Blas. They married on July 10, 1999 and celebrated 21 years of marriage. They began their family, and happily welcomed their daughter Paris Nicole Blas in 2003. The family made their move to the Dallas-Fort Worth Area around 2002.
Latanya had many gifts and talents. She attended cosmetology school and had a passion for interior design, always keeping her home looking beautiful. For quite some time, Latanya worked for AT&T and Santander as a Customer Support Specialist. Latanya always loved to take family trips with Acel and Paris. Trips to the beach, or anywhere with water always called to her. Latanya also enjoyed trips with long relaxing drives. Latanya never met a stranger and loved making new friends. She had a great gift and such joy for life, and the world will be a little dimmer for those that shared in her beautiful light. A loving and caring wife and mother, daughter, sister, and friend will be dearly missed by those blessed to have known her.
