Tanya Thompson
"Going Home Celebration"

Tanya Thompson was born on December 11, 1957 in Lubbock, Texas to her late mother, Lauredo Polk and father, Rosco Thompson. As a young girl, Tanya excelled as a bright and gifted student. Her high standards both in the classroom and outside of the classroom helped her achieve many honorable awards throughout the years. Tanya had her own way of doing things and for some reason, things always worked out leaving her with the words "I told you so…"! She was more than just a sister, mother, grandmother, and friend; Tanya was the family leader. Tanya always told the truth, and would always deliver her words with love and honesty. Tanya's honesty and hard work continued to bring her success as she continued to be honored for the many community projects she was involved in and for helping people in a time of need. In 1976, Tanya entered the Miss Los Angles Beauty Contest where she was awarded the Miss Congeniality Award after reading a beautiful poem she composed and bringing the audience to their feet in a standing ovation. Once again, our family was so proud of Tanya and how confident she always was. After college, Tanya started her career as the Associate Director at California State University, Fullerton where she worked with many friends and colleagues until her passing.
Tanya's pride and joy is her only son, Bjaun Johnson. She lived her life for him and was very proud of him as a father, husband and most of all, for being her son. Tanya's favorite family time was with her grandchildren, whom she adored and helped raise.
Tanya is survived by her son Bjaun Johnson and daughter-in-law Ana and their children Genesis, Trinity, and Little B. She is also survived by her great Uncle Ellis Sledge, and loving brother Johnny and sister-in-law Pam Thompson and nephews Johnny, Martin Derek, Admire, Will Sledge, Fleisha Thompson, Adman Lucas, and David Thompson.
