Lataysia Fleming, better known to her family as, “Ducky” was a strong, beautiful, independent woman. She was born to Lori Fry and Fred Cash on December 30, 1978, yet was adopted to the late Cheryl Rhodes and General Fleming. She graduated from Buchtel high school and attended college while beginning to raise 3 of her children; TeAjia Fleming, Joseph Poulson Jr. and Joesiah Poulson with her now late husband Joseph Poulson Sr. who passed in January of 2022. They had many grandchildren including Zoeii and Zaine Poulson, Jay’zion and Dwayne “Fatty” Poulson. They were married for over 20 years as of July 8, 2000; she then was remarried to Donnie Antwon in May of 2024.

Lataysia started her career in healthcare then later spent a vast majority in the pharmaceutical industry.

She is survived by her many sisters, Monica, Angela, Vicky, and Kelly Walker as well as Toya Fleming, Erica Harrison, Glenna Knox, and brother, Pete Walker.

She was best known for how dearly she loved her family and how great a cook she was—getting all her recipes from Cheryl. She loved to make 3-4 course meals for her family every night and her famous Million Dollar pies. Determined to be the best mother she could, she was very protective and instilled many great values and morals in her children. Lataysia loved to spend her free time completing complex jigsaw puzzles while watching thrilling movies on the LifeTime channel. Although Lataysia sadly passed on July 24, 2025, she will forever be remembered in all of our hearts. May she rest in eternal peace.”
