Tanya "Momma T" Jasinski, age 64 of Beavercreek, OH passed away peacefully surrounded by her loved ones at home on Tuesday, March 2, 2021. She was born on June 3, 1956 in San Bernardino, California to James and Virginia (Roman) Smalenberg. Tanya married Andrew Jasinski on December 10, 1976 in Oscoda, Michigan.
Tanya was a 2007 graduate of Wright State College of Nursing and retired from Wright Patterson AFB Medical Center, where she loved caring for active duty and retired personnel. She was an active member of Peace Lutheran Church in Beavercreek and hosted Bible study in her home. Above all, Tanya loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and her five grandbabies were the "light of her life". She left a lasting legacy with the many people that she touched and knew no strangers. She loved her family and friends dearly and will be greatly missed by all.
Tanya is survived by her children Sean (Candice) Jasinski, Drew (Jennifer) Jasinski and Megan Jasinski; grandchildren, James, Leigha, Connor, Andrew and Bryson; three siblings, Tawnie (Eric) Hoganson, Troy (Arlene) Smalenberg, Todd (Lynne) Smalenberg; "sister", Carmen (John) Mattson and family; "daughter" Jeri Switzer; "son" Thierry Jean-Francois; and many other family and friends. She was preceded in death by her loving husband Andrew Jasinski on April 22, 1997; her parents; and a brother, Timothy.
Tanya's friends always joked about how big her heart was, that she required a second one. In April 2017, she was blessed with a new heart due to the tragic passing of Aaron Yowell and through this tragedy, a beautiful friendship was created between Tanya and Aaron's mother, Cindy Reckers.
