Tabathia Mae Charnock, age 58, passed away peacefully on July 30, 2025, surrounded by love. Born on May 12, 1967, Tabathia was a kind-hearted and generous soul who touched the lives of many with her warmth, creativity, and welcoming nature.
She was a devoted mother to four daughters: Shawna McDonald (Zack), Toni Harmle (Scott), Laura Charnock (Mark), and Cari Charnock (Austin). Her legacy lives on through her cherished grandchildren: Layla, Julianna, Dillon, Jaxon, and Sadie, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.
Tabathia had a creative spirit and found joy in craft making — a passion that reflected her artistic heart and generous hands. Whether she was creating something special for someone she loved or simply enjoying the act of making, she brought beauty and care into the world around her. She was also witty, honest, and never afraid to speak her mind — always with a touch of humor and a whole lot of heart.
Known for her kind heart, welcoming presence, and generous nature, Tabathia had a way of making everyone feel like family. Her life was marked by love, compassion, and quiet strength — qualities that will be remembered by all who knew her.
A private celebration to honor the life of Tabathia will be held for the immediate family.
