Tanya Smith

Created by Charlotte 3 years ago

Born in Portsmouth on the 21/12/1977, Tanya’s early years were spent in Gosport with her three siblings, Mark, Diane and Daryl. She made life long friends and her Nana Bear was a huge influence in her life during her formative years. She moved to Plymouth at the age of 13 with her family, where she made life long friendships in Plymstock School and growing up. Tanya gave birth to her three children, Charlotte, Harvey and Lily-Kay in her 20s and 30s. She had her own buisness as a child minder and strived to venture out to study more, such as nursing which she was studying for in the last two years. In the midst of 12 hour days and raising her family, she still managed to find true love with her Partner Ken and three children, Georgia, Issy And Declan. Loved by all, and with even enough love in her heart for 8 animals. Tanya even found time in her busy life to video call her brother Daryl for Story time with her youngest niece Amelia. When on the barbican she would even pop to see Nana Joy for a cup of tea and to say hello. Mum, daughter, sister, auntie, granddaughter and friend to many, Tanyas passing leaves a huge hole in all our lives, she will forever be kept safe in our hearts. We love you tan tan xx
