Tanya was born in Houston (The Heights) on March 23, 1971. She moved to Spring at a young age and graduated from Klein Forest high school in 1989. She went to A&M that fall. Tanya worked her way through college working 35 hours per week at the Appletree bakery. She graduated in May 1994 with a BA in English and a minor in Russian (and no college debt).

Tanya and I would get married in May 1995. She registered on TexAgs in 1999, became a teacher in 2000, a mother in 2008, and a Missourian in 2013. We were divorced in 2019 but remained in close contact as we shared our son, Benny. Benny will turn 17 in 15 days, and I hate that his Mom won't be there to see it.

I know that Tanya meant a lot to a number of you, but I don't have much to say outside of dumping some facts. She died this morning at 8:40 AM.

We will be having a service in either La Grange (where her sister lives) or B/CS. I will pass along information when I have some.

Here. Praying for you all.

Tanya's a TexAgs Legend, for sure. She'll be missed.

I guess I'll post something, since Tanya was one of the OG #Texas IRC geeks from the early 90's. That's where I met her at local IRC parties. A lot of the original #Texas IRC people still communicate via Discord now, and Tanya was on there as well. That channel has also been notified of her passing.

Much sadness from all of her groups. RIP

Here. When I first ventured to TA, I remember seeing posts from Tanya about frugal moms and all the BSC things happening on a moms board. While humorous and entertaining, you also saw how proud she was to be Benny's mom.

I hope he can find some peace knowing how much his mother loved him so.

God bless.

Oh no!!! Here. She was truly a special person for many of us. She'll be missed.

We helped set something up for James. I'll loop my wife in since she helped get that set up.

Shoot me an email at Daniel.garcia@steptoe-johnson.com if youre wanting to get this done

It is currently 2:30 PM and 7 out of the top 10 posts of the day are by or about Tanya.

A small, but fitting tribute.
People of integrity expect to be believed, when they're not, they let time prove them right.
