She was preceded in death by her Aunt Tammy Lamonds, who held a special place in her heart. Tanya's professional life was marked by her dedication and hard work. She was a valued employee at Sheetz, where her colleagues respected her for her commitment and cheerful disposition. Prior to joining Sheetz, she contributed her talents to Hursey's BBQ, where her presence was equally appreciated.

Beyond her work, Tanya was known for her creative spirit and her love for crafts. She found joy in making t-shirts, cups, and various gifts, pouring her heart into each creation to bring happiness to others. Her handmade gifts were not just items but tokens of her affection, often personalized to bring a smile to the recipient's face. Tanya's love for the beach was another defining aspect of her life. The tranquility of the ocean and the warmth of the sun provided her with a sense of peace and a place to recharge. Tanya's life was a testament to the power of love, the beauty of creativity, and the importance of family. Her infectious laughter and the warmth of her presence will be deeply missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Tanya's spirit will continue to live on through her children, her family, and the countless lives she touched with her kindness and generosity. As we bid farewell to Tanya Montana Poole, we celebrate the time we had with her and the countless ways she enriched our lives. Her memory will be held close in the hearts of her loved ones, and her legacy will endure through the love she shared and the lives she impacted.
