Tanya Darnise Murray was born to Elbert Murray and Vivian Nelson (predeceased) a homemaker and waste collector in Rochester N.Y on January 20,1959. The youngest child of 9 Tanya attended franklin high school before she went on to begin her career at St. Josephs villa and later on to the Kodak plant. Tanya was an energetic, charismatic child who grew into a wonderful person whom her friends and family truly loved. Tanya was very outgoing her hobbies included playing pool, bowling, fishing, playing cards, attending baseball games, thrifty shopping and anything Buffalo Bills.  If you knew Tanya you knew her family was her sole focus in life. Tanya was a very nurturing woman. You could count on Tanya a true friend until the end. If you needed her she would be there often she would put her own needs second to her loved ones.

“To her daughters she leaves the strength to do what you love not what society expects Splurge on the things you love and don’t be afraid to fail and finally no matter what trust your instincts and be yourself. To her sons she leaves bravery to get them through the toughest times, courage to challenge the status quo. Finally discipline to achieve meaningful objectives “‘(Tanya Murray)
