Tania Breona Richardson, 27, transitioned on July 23, 2025. She was born on September 17, 1997, in Norfolk, VA, to Tonia M. Richardson and Bobby Mitchell.

Tania was preceded in death by her grandparents, Forest and Linda Richardson, and her uncle, Forrest Lavell Richardson, all of Norfolk, VA.

She leaves to cherish her memory her two beloved sons, Kaleb Amir Richardson and King Otis Frazier; her devoted mother, Tonia M. Richardson of Suffolk, VA; her siblings, Tony Richardson (Jaclyn) of Juneau, AK, and Ndea Carver of Virginia Beach, VA; her adored nephews, Ezekial, Jayce, and Zion; her loving aunts, Eula and Itina; uncles, Jeffrey Richardson (Francessca) and Mark Richardson; and a host of extended family and friends who were touched by her presence.

Tania graduated from a private homeschool program in 2014. Over the years, she held a variety of jobs that took her from Virginia to San Diego, CA, always pursuing new opportunities and adventures.

Tania radiated warmth, confidence, and joy. She was a vibrant soul-known for being the life of the party and for lighting up every room she entered. Her laughter was contagious, her energy unforgettable, and her presence deeply cherished by all who knew her.

Above all, Tania was a devoted mother. Kaleb and King were the lights of her life, and she took immense pride in ensuring they were loved, protected, and well cared for.

Tania had a deep passion for music and possessed a voice that moved hearts. Mornings often found her singing along to her favorite gospel songs-a sound that filled her home with joy. She also had a love for photography, capturing everyday beauty and preserving special memories with those closest to her.

She expressed herself boldly and creatively, with a natural gift for bringing smiles and laughter wherever she went. Her outgoing nature and magnetic spirit made her the heart of every gathering-and her absence will be felt deeply.

As we say goodbye, we carry Tania's memory in our hearts. Her legacy lives on through laughter, love, and the joy she brought into the world. May we honor her by continuing to cherish every moment, uplift others, and live fully-just as she did.
