Tanya Temin was a remarkable woman. Her kindness touched the hearts of all whom she encountered. A devoted mother, grandmother and aunt, she gave selflessly, surrounding her family and friends with love and care. She was independent, spontaneous, curious and light hearted, taking pleasure in little things in life. A creative dresser, she often fashioned original and outrageous garments atop her head, displaying her whimsical and ageless personality. Tanya’s openness and sense of humor is what let her transcend generations and bond with relatives and people of all ages. As a matriarch of the family, she was the glue that held everything and everyone together. To say that there is a void in our hearts is an understatement. Her memory is imprinted in both our minds and souls forever and, although Tanya is no longer physically with us, she will always be deeply missed and loved, and her presence remains in our hearts.
