> She was an adventurous, outgoing, self-driven woman who emigrated from Mexico in the mid 1950’s to pursue the American dream. Tana taught herself English, which opened the door to finding her true passion, a career in sales. She was employed by Forest Park Cemeteries for over twenty-five years through which she was able to provide much needed services to the Houston Hispanic community. As a result of her incredible work ethic, charm, and persuasive nature, she proudly earned the title of top salesperson time and time again.
