Tawnia "Tawna Lynn", Raynebow Lynn (McConnell) Koelliker

She was born in 1970 and passed from this plane on January 26, 2019. She would have been 49 February 6th. She was a mom and an artist who loved music at loud volumes and Jesus all day long. She was a free spirit, never to be caged. Most of all, she was our favorite person whose light and hopeful energy will be missed by all who held her dear to their heart. May she rest in peace as she was never able to come by it in this life.

Tawnia is survived by her five children, Corey Allen and Codey Sean of Kansas, Joshua David of Arizona, Patrick Rayne of Oklahoma and Randilea Nickole of Arizona, her sister Kathy (Jim) Fisher of Shawnee, her nephews Wesley Scott and Eric Ryan Preble of Florida, her niece Sarah Grace (Dom) Davis of Kansas City, her Uncle Larry (Vivian) Brown, her cousins, Michael (Miste) and Brittany Brown, her grandchildren, many friends and fans.

Tawnia was preceded in death by her brother Ronnie Ray McConnell (2007), her mother Barbara Lea Arnote (2005), her maternal grandparents, Leon Eugene and Georgia Brown as well as her paternal grandparents, Bill and Mable McConnell.

A Visitation will be held from 12:00pm to 1:00pm followed by a 1:00pm Funeral Service on Saturday, February 2nd at Mt. Moriah, Newcomer & Freeman Funeral Home, 10507 Holmes Road, Kansas City, Missouri. A Committal Service and Burial will take place in Mount Moriah Cemetery following the service.
