Tanya Makela

She was preceded in death by her mother, Roberta Makela; and brother, Daniel “Dozer” Makela. Survived by and left to cherish her memory are her father, James Makela; brothers Robert, Gary, Rick and Barry Makela; sisters Lynne Virtanen and Alina Vincent; her nieces, Lisa Makela, Maria and Monica; and her two children, Derek Anderson and Amber Miller, who all loved her very much.

Tanya was one of a kind with a beautiful soul, who loved jamming out to music, spending time with her family, and snuggling with her cat. Tanya was an amazing sister, aunt, and friend to all and she will be truly missed always and forever. I love you, aunty.
