Tisha Deanna Harvey was born on Thursday, July 31, 1969, in Hamilton, Ohio, located in the Greater Cincinnati area. Her  mother, Robin, "Brenda" Harvey, was a young single-parent, hence, her mother, Ethel May Harvey, was the primary caretaker who raised Tisha and was endeared as Momma.

Tisha was educated in Cincinnati Public Schools-Winton Hills Elementary, Schwab Junior High School and Aiken High School, Class of 1987. In addition, she was a multisport athlete with game skills in basketball, softball, and volleyball. Tisha attended Wright State University for her freshman year and then transferred to the University of Cincinnati where she attained a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement Administration.

Tisha was hardworking, results oriented, and customer focused. Her first professional job was with Hamilton County Sheriff's Office in Cincinnati. In 1997, Tisha relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina and began employment with Mecklenburg County where she held three positions during her tenure-Court Services Analyst, Sheriff's Office Pre-trial Team Leader, and Tax Support Services Supervisor.

She was a highly motivated person who was passionate about learning and taking on new tasks and responsibilities. As part of her continuing educating, Tisha received a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt, DCI certification and was a Certified Deputy Tax Collector. She also attended graduate school attaining a Master of Business Administration from Pheiffer University.

Tisha was a member of the National Forum for Black Public Administrators-Southern Piedmont Chapter. She assisted with the annual golf tournament, organized networking socials, and served as a mentor. She regularly attended NFBPA's national annual conference enhancing her professional development and making connections.

Tisha's divine guidance to be a Social Studies teacher for Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools provided the greatest fulfillment of purpose. At West Mecklenburg High School, she wanted to teach not to just lessons in the book but how to choose the proper path wherever they may go. She also touched on the lives of many students while serving as a softball coach.

In her downtime, TIsha enjoyed listening to "old school" music; playing dominos and spades; going to the movies; watching her weekly TV shows; hosting parties and gatherings; attending concerts; traveling, particularly to the beach; and just having good times with friends. She was a Dallas Cowboys fan, University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, and LA Lakers fan but occasionally went to Charlotte Hornets basketball games.

Tisha transitioned to be with the Lord on Thursday, May 11, 2023. She was preceded in death by her mother, father (Alex Cook), and grandmother.

Cherishing her loving memories are Ivan and Sheila Bruce, other aunts and uncles: cousins, God-daughters, Kennae' Ciera Evans and Bria Childs; friends; coworkers; and students. Her extended family includes, but is not limited, Leslie Johnson, Petula Dunston-Gomillion, Michael Bryant, Christopher Waddell, Peter Cook, and her sister home girls-Rochelle Evans, Tracy Bates, Tasha Childs, Yvette Cunningham, Yvonne Finley, and Theresa Pope.

Tisha had a big heart-she was a giver. Among her girlfriends she was the glue that kept them together. She never met a stranger and filled the room with a warm sunshiny smile. We were blessed to know her. Tisha, Tish, Peaches....Until we meet again.
