Tanya’s passion for life was evident in her many interests and hobbies. She found solace in the beauty of nature, often taking leisurely walks to immerse herself in the tranquility of the outdoors. The holiday season held a special place in Tanya’s heart, as it was a time for her to share her love of baking with friends and family.

Her love for animals extended beyond the zoo’s gates, as she opened her heart and home to numerous dogs over the years, each becoming a beloved companion.

Tanya’s adventurous side led her to memorable experiences, including a trip to New Orleans and visits to St. Louis, where she relished the city’s culture and energy. Elder’s was a favored destination where Tanya and her mother shared countless meals and conversations, creating memories that will be held dear.
