Ta' Shawn Broussard

On Mother's Day, May 10, 2015, God called a beautiful mother home. Ta'Shawn Lashay Broussard, born December 16, 1991 in Galveston, Texas is the daughter of Carroll Allen, Edward Broussard and Donald Sanford. She was educated in the public schools of La Marque and Texas City, graduating from Texas City High School in 2010. Ta'Shawn had a zest for life and independence. She looked toward her 16th birthday with great anticipation so she could get a job. Her working career began at Schlitterbahn, where she worked her way up to shift supervisor. She was a car hop at Sonic in Texas City; a CNA at Bayou Pines Nursing Home and AMED; and most recently a Security Officer at both McRoberts Maritime Security and Vet Security. After working Security, Ta'Shawn expressed great interest in going to the Police Aademy to follow in the footsteps of her uncle Darrell Allen. She looked up to her uncles, Kenneth and Darrell, and often called on them for help and advise. Her favorite sport was playing softball. She truly loved her children and family, never hesitating to ruse to their defense. Ta'Shawn accepted Christ at an early age and was baptized at Greater Barbour's Chapel Baptist Church in Texas City by the late Pastor H. A. Ratcliff, Jr. She was a member of the Youth Choir and Youth Praise Dancers Ministry. Ta'Shawn is preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Lee and Jeweline Allen; and great-grandmother, Ruthie Allen. Treasured memories are left with her son, Anthony Miles, Jr.; daughter, Amiria Miles and their father, Anthony Miles Sr.; her parents, Carroll Allen, Edward Broussard and Donald Sanford (Cleo); grandparents, Bernadine (Mike) Davy, Shirley Lewis (James) and Leroy Sanford; brothers, Edward, Dominique and Tevin Allen, Donald and Brandon Sanford; sisters, Amaya Horton and Terrinny Broussard; uncles, Kenneth (Sharyl) Allen, Darrell Allen, Ronald Sanford, Mile Baker and Kenneth Lewis; aunts, Anita Allen, Gwendolyn Dickerson, Sharon Allen, Tracey Allen, Annette Sanford and Betty (Earl) Colvin; numerous cousins, family members, friends and co-workers.
