Tanya (Hill) Halford, 67, of Phoenix, AZ passed away on May 14, 2019, surrounded by her loving family and friends. She is survived by her mother, Sonia Hill, her brothers, Bobby (Kathy) Hill, Darren (Erin) Hill, and many nieces and nephews. Tanya was preceded in death by her grandmother, Fannie Kravitz, her father, Robert E. Hill, and her sister, Tara C. Franklin. Tanya was loving and caring. She was always willing to help others as many would attest. Her love for life and people will be missed. Tanya had a “big” personality; her presence inspired laughter and happiness in others. Tanya’s compassion led her to volunteer for many causes. She deeply loved her family and friends and her family and friends deeply loved her. “She lived and laughed – and loved and left”.

It’s with great sorrow I reach out to you today. When I think my Phoenix memories the Hill family comes to mind.
I think of ice cream stores, ping pong in the back yard (I never could beat Tanya), little dogs named Buffy (I hope that is right), base ball cards, Granny and a concrete wall between Baskin Robbins and your house.
I have though Tanya often over the years. We had a special relationship which I still hold deeply in my heart as I believe she did too. Thank you Tanya you are now in a better place.

May 21, 2019 at 4:58 pmI remember the first day I met Tanya at work (APS-PVNGS) in 1981. She was vibrant and always expressed herself in a very excited demeanor like an excited child anxious to share something with you. She was very pleasant and had a great laugh and smile. May the family find peace and solitude knowing Tanya lived a full life and she suffers no more. She will be missed by all whom had the pleasure of knowing her in all different aspects of her life!
