Obituary for Asia Iquwa Tanksley

In loving memory of Asia Tanksley born February 28, 1992 in Leavenworth, Kansas to Tony and Sylvia Tanksley. She was a beautiful young woman who left us too soon on March 10, 2018.

The family moved to Topeka, Kansas where Asia attended Topeka public schools, graduating high school in May 2010. She attend WTI until her health no longer allowed her to do so.
