Tawnee Baird Obituary
Early morning on October 18, 2014, the sunshine of our lives was taken away from us. Tawnee Marie Baird was born on June 17, 1993. She was the sweetest and best natured baby anyone could wish for. Her parents Dana Marie Anderson and Casey Baird cherished every moment with her.
Her laughter filled our hearts and continued to fill everyone's hearts as she grew into a beautiful girl. Recently, she was enrolled at SLCC and worked at Arnold Machinery. She has aspirations of being famous and a dream to live in California one day to watch palm trees sway and ocean waves roll onto the sand.
She loved her family and many friends with a passion. She was so dedicated to her new job knowing that success at her work was going to help her reach her goals and to manage her Dads business.
She leaves her parents Dana Gunn and Casey Baird, grand parents, Liana Anderson and Pete Shay, Ray and Maxine Gunn, step-dad Steve Gunn, step-dad Cameron Murray, siblings Aleksei Gunn, Kaden Gunn and Baylee
Murray, Jaydon Murray and Keaton Murray, cousins Hailey and Abby, aunts Holly, Heather and Maralin, uncle Gary, Colin and Brian.
Special support thank you to Chereneh, Kyle Harris, Cory Draper, Karl Augat and the whole Remington Arms Family.
Services will be held Monday, October 27th at St. Vincent's Catholic church, 1375 East Spring Lane, Salt Lake City, UT at 2:00 pm. Pot luck lunch to follow.
A memorial fund has been set up at Wells Fargo Bank to cover litigation and funeral costs. Donations may be made to the Tawnee Baird Memorial Account at any Wells Fargo Branch.
Thank you everyone for the love and support you have shown to our "lady bug"....

Dear Tawnee, it's coming up 10 years since you have gone. I just watched a video about you on You Tube that Lacey made. You are truly a shining light, so bright like a star! We've never met but I wish we would have. I hope you are happy where ever you are. Best wishes to your beautiful Family and please smile back at them from Heaven. With love from UK, Peter

Dear Family of Tawnee,
We are so sorry for the deep loss of your beautiful daughter at this time. We lost our 19 yr old daughter 10 yrs ago, also by surprise, by a car accident over a cliff. May the loving arms of our Savior envelope your hearts at this time and bring healing and sweet peace to you and to her friends family as well.

Casey, My heart goes out to you during this time of loss, that no one can imagine. I didn't even know Tawnee "Lady Bug" til this past week, didn't meet her, but feel like I knew her. Her story & Life has touched so many people. Just always remember she's always with you and watching, just out of a higher window. God grant you peace.
