She was born on August 10, 1970, in Bogalusa, Louisiana, to Martha Wheat and the late Douglas "Buddy" Temples.

She spent many dedicated years working at the Rayburn Correctional Center, where she earned the respect and admiration of her colleagues as a Sergeant. Her commitment to her role was surpassed only by her love for her family and her zest for life. Her greatest joy came from the time spent with her beloved children and grandchildren. Tushanna was a woman of unique character; she was wild, crazy, and fiercely protective of those she loved. Her love for fishing, hunting, and the beach was only matched by her ability to talk on the phone for hours, sharing laughter and stories that will be remembered for years to come. She is survived by her loving mother, Martha Wheat, her brother Shannon Temples, her children Allison "Allie" Terrell and Nathan Jarrell, Kayla Morris and Billy Morris and her treasured grandchildren, Kinley and Beau Jarrell, Levi and Lilly Morris.

In accordance with her family's wishes, a private ceremony will be held to honor her life. The family shares this heartfelt message: "I love you mama, you were so loved and will be deeply missed by everyone who was lucky enough to call you Mom, daughter, grandmother, family or friend. You leave behind your laughter, your endless stories, your stubbornness, strength, and countless memories that we will carry for the rest of our lives. I'll carry you with me for the rest of mine. Until I see you again Mama."
