Larisha Sharell Thompson, 40, of Lancaster, SC, entered into eternal rest on May 2, 2025. She was born on June 1, 1984, in Lancaster, SC, to Gordon Thompson Sr. and Debra Chavis Thompson.
Larisha was a proud graduate of Lancaster High School, Class of 2002. She continued her education with an Associate Degree in Business and Science from the University of South Carolina Lancaster, a Certified Medical Degree from York Technical College, and a Bachelor of Arts in Healthcare Administration from Ashford University.
She was a dedicated employee of the Department of Veterans Affairs and Home Depot in Lancaster, SC. Larisha was known for her hard work, beautiful spirit, and passion for helping others.
She lived life to the fullest — enjoying bowling, traveling with friends, laughter, and making unforgettable memories with her daughters, whom she adored. Larisha’s love, kindness, and strong work ethic ensured that her daughters always had what they needed and wanted.
She leaves to cherish her precious memory: her mother, Debra Chavis Thompson of Savannah, GA; her father, Gordon Thompson Sr. of Lancaster, SC; two beloved daughters, Sh'Mareona Bufford and London Benson, both of Lancaster, SC; one sister, Tiffany Bracey (Mario) of Camden, SC; two brothers, Gordon Thompson Jr. and Demarcus Thompson, both of Rock Hill, SC; godparents, Rev. John and Betty Robinson of Charlotte, NC; her special friend, Alex Davis of Rock Hill, SC; and a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, and dear friends.
Larisha's vibrant spirit, loving heart, and infectious joy will forever live on in all who knew and loved her.
