Tanya was a very uplifting person. She found joyfulness in attending church every Sunday. She loved going on adventures whether it was a bus ride, walking around Wascana to feed her geese or meeting up with friends and family to have coffee at Tim Hortons. She had many hobbies such as crafts, knitting, puzzles, colouring and drawing, as well as playing cards. Whenever you saw Tanya she was always smiling, laughing, tickling or teasing you. Although she didn't have children, she looked at her nieces, nephews and grandchildren as her own. She was full of so much love, laughter and happiness.

Her favourite Quote was: "I am me and always will be me"
