Tanya Renee Conner, 45, of South Boston, VA, passed away on Friday, May 23, 2025, at the University of Virginia Medical Center. She was born on July 28, 1979, in Henderson, NC, to Vickie Faucette and the late Wayne Conner. Tanya was a bright spirit with a heart as wide as the sky. She found joy in life's simple pleasures, wandering past storefronts, taking in the charm and detail of displays without needing to buy a thing, catching every Marvel movie with childlike excitement, and curling up with her beloved cat, Smokey, who was her constant companion and confidant. Tanya had one of the biggest hearts you could ever know. There wasn't a soul she couldn't find room for in her heart, and she held a gentle affection for everyone she met. Her kindness, warmth, and quiet strength touched many lives, leaving behind memories wrapped in laughter, compassion, and love. In addition to her mother, she is survived by her daughters, Faith Stillwell, and Emily Tilley (husband Branson); and her grandson, Dean Tilley. Services for Tanya may be announced at a later date. An online guestbook is available at www.compassionatecremationva.com Compassionate Cremation Services of Ruckersville, VA is handling the arrangements.
