Tanesha Nicole Good, affectionately known to many as “OOTY-OOT,” passed

away on March 28, 2026, in Springfield, Ohio. Born in Middletown, Ohio, on

September 15, 1977, Tanesha’s life was a testament to loyalty, strong opinions,

and an unwavering commitment to the people she loved.

Tanesha was known for speaking her mind and standing on what she believed

in. She didn’t sugarcoat much, but if she loved you, you knew it. She had a bold

personality, a sharp sense of humor, and a presence that couldn’t be ignored.

Raised surrounded by family who poured into her, she carried that same

energy into her relationships—protective, outspoken, and deeply connected to

her people.

Tanesha was preceded in death by her grandmother who raised her, Corrine

Kindred; her grandfather, L.V. Kindred; and her aunts, Tonya Kindred and

Jacqueline Patterson.

She leaves to cherish her memory her daughter, Shalance Pruden, and her son,

London Cooks. Her legacy lives on through her beloved grandchildren: Jayce,

Amarion, Marah, Naomi, Zoey, and Lij.

She is also survived by her mother Demeta Good, Uncle; Howard (Gene) Good

and his wife, Pamela Good, Aunts; Trina Hess, Sonya Kindred, Cassaundra

Kindred Fuller, whom Tanesha often referred to as her favorite; and her very

special cousins: Charles Jamil Patterson, Howard Eugene (Pee-Wee) Patterson,

Kenya Robert’s, Tonya Jones, Ravyn Jones, Imani Patterson, Alissa Popp, and

Justin Fuller along with a host of other family and friends.

Throughout her career she connected with people from all walks of life. She

showed up as herself—real, direct, and dependable—and made an impact in her

own way on those she interacted with daily.

The community of Middletown, Ohio, where she was born and spent much of

her life, holds many memories of her presence and personality. It is where her

story began and where her spirit will always be felt.

Though her journey ended too soon, Tanesha leaves behind a lasting

impression—through her voice, her strength, and the way she showed up for

the people she loved. Her memory will live on in the stories shared, the laughs

remembered, and the love that remains.
