Tanya Denise Kee, 59, of Belton, departed this life on Monday, March 25, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family. She was born on August 21, 1964, in Channel View, Texas, to Alfred and Claudia Brown. As the eldest of three sisters, Tanya brought warmth, laughter, and boundless love into the lives of those around her.
In her youth, Tanya’s family relocated to Missouri. She graduated from Blue Ridge Christian School in 1982. In the fall of ‘85, shortly after graduation, she married Timothy Carlton Kee. Together they had three children.
Tanya dedicated herself to nurturing young minds for nearly two decades as an early educator. Tanya possessed many talents like singing and playing the piano. She enjoyed cooking and spending time with friends and family. Known affectionately as “Tami” by her friends, she carried a smile that lit up every room she entered.
Above all, Tanya treasured her role as a devoted mother to her three beloved children, Spencer, Shayla, and Skyler.
Tanya joins her father, Alfred, and husband, Timothy, in heaven’s eternal light. She will be lovingly remembered and deeply missed by her three children, her grandchildren, Brylee and Brennan, her parents Claudia and Ron Fields, her sisters, Boba White and Sherri Hamlin, and many nieces and nephews.
