Natasha Sagucka

Natasha Ania Sagucka was born to snowboard. From the time she was 2 until her last days on this earth she found peace, love and light on the mountains. She thrived from the energy of slashing through the trees and sliding on the rails just perfectly.

Tash lived her short life to her fullest potential. Inspiring everyone who knew her, most of all her little sis, Kayla, who twice fearlessly donated her stem cells to give Tash a second chance at life. On Nov. 15, 2016, Natasha was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. From that day forward Tasha’s life was forever changed.

Tasha was a young and brilliant soul who bravely battled a horrific disease. On Nove. 4, 2017, this disease ultimately stole her young life. She was 24.

She was born on March 24, 1993.

Natasha is survived by her parents Margaret Sagucka and Kori Griffin; sister Kayla Sagucka; brothers Carson and Scottie Carey; stepdad Scott Carey; maternal grandmother Babi Ania Sagucka who helped raise her since she was a little girl; paternal grandfather Major Griffin; as well as her beloved boyfriend Ali Giroux; auntie Summer Schimandle; cousins Ian and Paxston; and her puppy Reno.

A Celebration of life will be on Dec. 4 at 11am at Sierra Community Church, 1165 Sierra Blvd. South Lake Tahoe.

In lieu of flowers, donation may be made to Leukemia Lymphoma Foundation, Saint Jude’s or Make a Wish.
