Tanya Harshberger Obituary

Tanya Nicole Harshberger (T.J.)

Tanya Nicole Harshberger (T.J.), age 30, after many years of suffering, God called our precious angel home to be with Him on April 7, 2014.

Tanya was born August 28, 1983 in Cleveland, Ohio. She graduated from Parma Senior High in 2001. She enjoyed archery and shooting sports. Her favorite past time, was making everyone dream catchers. Tanya had a passion for music and singing, performing in the Parma Senior Choir. With an appetite for life, Tanya traveled to many states, living life to the fullest. Her greatest passion, however, was her son James, she loved him with all that she was and all she had to give. Though Tanya suffered greatly, she had the heart of an angel, always ready and willing whenever someone called on her.

Tanya was preceded in death by daughter, Shelby; beloved father, David Harshberger; and grandfather, George Harshberger.

She is survived by her cherished son, James Goodman Jr.; loving mother, Kathie Taylor (Kovalcin, Harshberger); step father, Ernest Taylor Jr; devoted sister, Tammy Lough (Jerry); beloved brother, Matthew Taylor (Her little baduka); loving sister, Kisha Radcliff; brother, Ernie Taylor III; devoted grandparents, Michael and Dorothy Kovalcin; and Joan Collins (Harshberger).

Tanya was a devoted Aunt to many nieces and nephews, and a cherished friend to many. Though she is gone from our eyes, she lives on in our hearts. Tanya will be deeply missed by many.

A bright, shining star taken from us far too soon, but we know she is in Heaven, watching over us, and waiting for us with open arms, until we meet again.

Funeral Service will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, April 12, 2014 at Key to My Father's House Church, 1825 Reimer Rd., Wadsworth 44281. The family will receive friends on Friday, from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 at Cox Funeral Home, 1376 High Street, Wadsworth 44281.

My Baby Girl Tanya it has been three years since you left us. My heart and body hurt just as much now as then. I miss you so very much. I think about you daily and cry because you are not here with us. I just want to hug you and talk with you. God WHY??? It hurts so much. This pain is unbelievable. Some days I just want to lay in bed and cry and even when I get up and go my pain remains strong. I love you my Tanya.

How I remember your smile and your laugh. I also remember growing up and playing sports together. It always felt like our team was somewhat of a family. I remember mom and grandma and grandpa always yelling from the dugout or behind the fence, yet always there at the end of the day to boost confidence. You were always there to be a great friend to someone and lend a helping hand if needed and you felt you were able to. I am sure god has taken you into his arms and now has a beautiful angel!

I a m sorry that we were not able to attend the wake or funeral, but memories of Tanya have been filling my heart the past week. She was always so eager to share what was happening in her life. Every time I was at the baseball field it was 'Miss Lynne' this and 'Miss Lynne' that. And she was always happy to help wherever needed especially on parade and hot dog days! While we will all miss her, and Kathie your heart will never repair, God had special plans for that doll baby and now she's watching over you. Blessings to all.
