Today with love we celebrate the completion of the earthly life of Tanya Lee West, daughter of Ruby West and the late Levy Padgett. Born November 15, 1971 in Queens, N.Y.

In 1982 Tanya met the late Ishan Speights. On October 11, 1994 they welcomed into the world a bouncing baby boy whom they named Aaron.

Tanya started working for NYC transit authority in 1998 as a station cleaner, she quickly moved up to Conductor . At the time of retirement in February 2014 Tanya was a Train Operator. She was a dedicated hard worker who appreciated her co-workers.

Tanya who had a heart of gold loved to laugh, have a good time, travel and spend time with her family. In her spare time she liked to read and enjoyed tv commercials especially the target Christmas commercial.
Tanya would go out of her way to help others. On July 23, 2013 Tanya gave her life to Christ and was baptized.
