Prairie View A&M University lost another student Wednesday when graduating senior and chemistry major Latisha Ansah passed away.
A graduate of Elkins High School in Missouri City, Texas, the 23-year-old died from medical complications after recent surgery. She tranferred to PVAMU from Saint Louis University in 2008. She was vice president of the chemistry club and also a member of the Undergraduate Medical Academy.
Mopelola Olaleye, president of the chemistry club, said, “She had a wonderful and strong spirit. Despite all she was going through, she still managed to smile and brought joy to everyone around her.”
She continued, “Latisha blessed a lot of people with her presence. Though it’s been hard since the news, I know she is happily resting. I miss her a whole lot, but she deserves the rest.”
Ansah’s funeral is scheduled for Saturday, March 5, at the Garden Oaks Funeral Home in Houston. The visitation at 10 a.m. will be followed by the service at 11 a.m
