Born on August 23, 1974, in Berwyn, Illinois, Tanya dedicated her life to caring for others, leaving a lasting impact on everyone she met. As a devoted caregiver, she exemplified compassion, kindness, and an unwavering spirit that touched countless lives. She is preceded by her parents, Antonio and Charlene (Bryant) Santiago.
