Tawnee Vaughn Little

May 11, 1984 - September 25, 2025

Tawnee Vaughn Little, born on May 11, 1984, passed away unexpectedly on September 25, 2025. A graduate of Teays Valley High School and Eastland Career Center, Tawnee went on to earn her degree from Columbus State Community College. She later pursued a career as a phlebotomist at Labcorp, a profession she loved and took great pride in.

Tawnee will be remembered for her infectious laugh, sharp wit, and the way she could light up any room with her sense of humor. Her warm spirit and kind heart touched everyone who had the joy of knowing her.

Above all else, Tawnee’s greatest joy in life was being a mother. Her children, Dayton and Lilliahna, were the center of her world and the source of her deepest love. She was fiercely devoted to them, and everything she did—from her hard work to the quiet moments at home—was done with their well-being and happiness in mind. Her eyes would light up when she spoke of them, and the love she gave was boundless, unconditional, and unforgettable.

She was preceded in death by her beloved mother, Tamara Little-Bidwell; her sisters, Tasha Little and Annie Guccionie; her grandparents, Golden Vaughn and Ruby Helen Little; her step-grandfather, Roy Vorhies; and her grandparents, Jewell and Woodrow Johnson.

Tawnee is survived by her loving father, Edward (Pam) Little; her cherished children, Dayton and Lilliahna; sisters, Samantha (Nicholas) Martini and Logan Wilson; brothers, Shane (Corinna) Wilson and Ryan Guccione. She also leaves behind a beloved Aunt Betty Traylor, as well as many adored nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends who will carry her memory in their hearts.

Tawnee’s laughter and light will be deeply missed but never forgotten.
