Tanya Paola Sanchez Valadez was born in Aguascalientes, Mexico to Patricia Rangel Dominguez and Octavio Valadez.
Tanya was a devoted mother to two beautiful young daughters and the beloved wife of Hector Alonso Sanchez, whom she loved dearly. She was one of the most loving and kind-hearted people you could ever meet, with a light that brightened every room she entered. Tanya is deeply loved and cherished by many, the person everyone called whenever they needed anything. She was a strong, selfless woman who always put others before herself, and to so many, she was not just a friend or family member, but a second mother.
She worked as a waitress at Empire Super Buffet, where she greeted everyone with a warm smile. Those who met her will always remember her kindness and gentle spirit. She will be dearly missed by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
As we remember Tanya, we hold close the beautiful life she lived and the love she shared so selflessly. Her gentle spirit, kindness, and light touched everyone she met. Though our hearts ache in her absence, she will forever live on in the hearts of those who loved her.
