LaToya Chastine Marcinko

LaToya was born in Plano, Texas on February 21, 1992, and passed away on Tuesday, October 22, 2024, at the age of 32. LaToya spent the first four years of her life in Allen before moving to Euless, Wichita Falls and Prosper, Texas where she was a proud graduate of Prosper High School in 2010. She was an avid soccer player and played for the Stars and Stripes team, representing the USA on a European tour in 2009. Growing up she played for several wonderful coaches that had a great impact on her life and she had many teammates over the years, where she made long and lasting friendships. LaToya was one of the 1st Prosper High School women soccer players to sign a college scholarship for soccer.

She went to Ouachita Baptist University in Arkansas where she met her husband, Trevor Marcinko. She then transferred to Navarro Junior College to attend school and play soccer. LaToya also attended Collin College where she received an associate’s degree and then obtained a Bachelor of Science Degree from the University of Phoenix in Environmental Sciences in 2020.

LaToya and Trevor married in 2017 and have 3 wonderful children whom she adored and cherished. LaToya was an online influencer with hundreds of videos for YouTube and Tik Tok. She had thousands of followers and millions of likes and views on her lifestyle videos where she shared ideas and tips with her followers.

LaToya always entered the room with a big smile on her face that will be forever missed. She was full of life, extremely competitive, whether it was on the soccer field, playing horse, board games, family Solitaire, or “discussing” things with her friends online or with family. LaToya’s passions were decorating her house for all holidays, movie themed dinners for her kids, working out, dogs, dolphins and her shopping hauls.

LaToya is survived by her husband, Trevor Marcinko USN stationed in Virginia Beach, Virginia, her 3 wonderful children, Kale, Nayvie and Emryn, her father and mother, Brent and Cindy Parker, her sister Kendall Parker and sisters Bianca Boston and Porscha Hollan, grandparents Donnie and Judy Parker, Gary and Charlotte Petermeier and many more family, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

Toya’s memory and magic will continue to live on and her family would like to thank all her friends and followers that helped inspire her and make her the beautiful person she was.

“Sleep, sleep tonight and may all your dreams be realized.”

A celebration of life is being held in Frisco for LaToya to cherish and honor her on Tuesday, October 29th at the Stonebriar Funeral Home. If desired, the family is asking that donations be made to the Texas Lions Club at https://www.lionscamp.com/ in lieu of flowers to help sponsor a summer camp for kids with Type 1 Diabetes.
