Tania's obituary

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of Tania Foster - Leeatoa, a beacon of warmth, wit, compassion, and generous spirit, who left us on August 12, 2024. Born on January 22, 1952, Tania's life journey was an inspiring testament to her belief in the power of education as a transformative force in altering one's socio-economic status, an accomplishment that was among her proudest.

Remembered for her love for people and her empathetic nature, Tania had a heart that was expansive, touching and impacting countless lives during her time with us. Her legacy is one of love, generosity, and kindness—a testament to the person she was and will always be in the hearts of those she left behind.

Fiercely adored by her son and daughter, her brothers, her family and friends, Tania's loss leaves a void, yet also a rich legacy of lessons she imparted. Her teachings encapsulates her wisdom and pragmatic outlook, she would say, "There will be a pay day. Pay now or pay later, you choose, but trust me when I say there will be a pay day".

To celebrate Tania's extraordinary life, a celebration service will be held on December 7, 2024, at 5pm at 807 Kinnaer Rd., Suite 200, Columbus, Ohio 43212. Her life was a true celebration of human spirit, and we invite all who knew her to join us in honoring her memory.

In lieu of flowers, a fund named "Tania Potts’s Memory and Legacy" has been established, and we kindly ask anyone wishing to contribute to do so at the following URL: https://everloved.com/life-of…. Your contributions will serve to continue Tania's legacy of love, generosity, and kindness.

Tania Foster - Leeatoa's light may have dimmed in the physical world, but it will continue to shine bright in the hearts of all who knew and loved her. Although she will be deeply missed, her teachings and the love she shared will continue to guide us towards a better tomorrow.
