Tiffany was born July 24, 1983 and lived a wonderful life surrounded by family and friends who loved her. Dancing was the most important part of her life, and she never knew a time without it, continuing to dance as a Golden Girl at the University of Missouri-where she graduated Summa Cum Laude, a Kansas City Chiefs Cheerleader and a director of the Missouri Mavericks’ Spirit Squad. In 2008, she was able to fulfill a lifetime dream of sharing her love of dance with others, opening The Pointe Dance Studio in Blue Springs, Missouri. Throughout her life and her work at the dance studio, she touched countless lives and inspired many young people.

Tiffany will be forever missed by her entire family, including the love of her life, husband Michael Mogenson, stepson Maddox Mogenson, mother Terri Platania, father Randy Long, sister Stacey Chaloux, niece and nephew Emerson and Benton Chaloux, and a large extended family, including the families of her dancers.

Those who knew Tiffany could see that she believed in helping others always and lived by her family’s code: Strength, Honor, Love.
