She spent the past 30 years in Florida, working as a bank teller, housekeeper and provided child care for growing families who became very attached to her.
Tana was energetic, giving, hard-working and independent. She loved baking cookies from scratch and sharing with family, neighbors and co-workers. She also hemmed countless garments for co-workers.
