Tanya Lorraine Boyer
December 20, 1948 — September 4, 2016
Tanya Lorraine Boyer was called home September 4, 2016. "Your job is done, it is time to come home and rest in my arms. You have done all that I asked of you."
She was born on December 20, 1948 to James Garfield and Mary (Jackson) Boyer and a life resident of Akron, Ohio.
Tanya graduated from Garfield High School and Central State University, attaining a BS in Accounting.

Tanya was active in several organizations throughout her life; most recently she was second vice president of the Federated Democratic Women of Summit County. Her greatest avocation was that of a "friend" and a truer friend you will not find.

JoAnn Harris both of Akron, OH; nephews, Christopher and Anthony of Kansas City, MO and Kenneth of Fredericksburg, VA; niece, Erica of Kansas City, MO; and a great aunt Thoretha Fox of Akron, OH as well as many cousins and friends.
