Tanya Rene Gass-Taylor, 58, passed away peacefully in her sleep at a private care home in New Braunfels, Texas on Friday, August 9, 2019 into the arms of her Lord and Savior.
Tanya was born on January 24, 1961 in Texas City and spent most of her life in Galveston County impressing joy and laughter into the lives of those whom she touched. She had a beautiful heart of gold and an uncanny ability to make every person she met feel like family instantly. She loved God and praised him even in her darkest of times and brought many people she knew, and loved, to know the Lord.
She is preceded in death by her husband Robert Anthony “Toby” Taylor, her mother Erma Gass, her father Kenneth Gass, her sister Pamela Gass, her niece Courtney Gass, and her nephews Robert Hicks and Calan Gass. She is survived by her beloved children, Shelby Taylor, Khalil Albakri & Amanda Thompson, Jaree & Bruce Fortin, her precious grandchildren, Summer Hefner, Charlie Hefner, and Kylah Albakri, her loving brothers Robert “Bobby” Gass and Dale & Kristi Gass, and numerous nieces and nephews whom she loved dearly.
A private family service will be held on August 25th, 2019 to honor her memory at Valiant Church, 2002 Postoffice, in Galveston.

To the family and friends, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope you can find comfort in this scripture taken from 2 Corinthians 3,4 where it says: “Praised be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our trials so that we may be able to comfort others in any sort of trial with the comfort that we receive from God.”. I also hope that these scriptures might be of some comfort as well, Philippians 4:6, 7, Isaiah 26:19, and John 5:28, 29.
So sorry! I have wonderful memories of us cousins growing up and the fun times we had at the Childs Family Reunions! Tanya was so beautiful inside and out! May God wrap his arms of love comfort and peace around all. Prayers love and hugs. Claudua Tibaldo
Tammy was my niece. I’ve known her since she was 3 years old. I have loved her all her life. She and I used to run around together as we got older. She was a firecracker. She would tell you what she thought. She will be very missed, but not forgotten. I will always love her. R.I.P. sweet Angel. Love, Aunt June

I loved being around Tanya, she could always make you laugh. She told me that one of the happiest time in her life is when she gave her life to God and was Baptized. I’m praying for all her family for the comfort and strength they will need during this time loss. God Bless you all
