Tawna Joy "Granny Peace" Fencil

On the early morning of Thursday March 1st angels gracefully watched over and aided Tawna Joy Fencil age 65 as her tender soul passed on. The love that radiated from her accepting heart stands unmeasurable and forever unforgettable. Her dedication and impact on others will stay burned within their minds and hearts for eternity.
She is survived by her loving husband Frank Fencil and her two children Jason Cain McDonald and Athena Eve Holmes. This further includes her 5 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren who had the absolute pleasure to get to know and create an incomparable bond with the empowering and devoted women Tawna was.
Tawna’s meaningful life began in Denver, Colorado and progressed through childhood in Sacramento and the Bay Area of California. Her brilliance and empathetic character was distinguished at an early age through her drive, passion and love of each and all living things. The ambition she possessed was portrayed through her schooling at Utah State University. Tawna accomplished and received a Bachelor of Arts within psychology, sociology and social work. She also minored in Spanish and completed a degree in business all within the duration of a mind-boggling 3 years.
Her undying altruistic mentality led to her career as a gifted counselor and social worker. Not a day went by when Tawna’s generosity, endearment and undivided affection wasn’t present. Tawna’s selflessness always drove her to put others needs before her own as her compassionate demeanor would not have not let her do otherwise. People were not the only aspect of life she devoted her time too. Animals captured an immense piece of her being as their love could easily be compared to hers, unconditional. Her bubbly personality, jovial laugh, and lively character had the ability to light up the entire universe. The word dull ceased to exist in account to a moment spent by her side. Words can never be expressed to justify the pureness and utter good Tawna possessed. Her desire for peace and love between every being stands to portray the true depth of her humanity. The phrase, “a heart of gold” was made simply to describe Tawna Joy Fencil and the true gift she was to this world.
A private celebration will be taking place to remember and honor our “Granny Peace’s” life with the people whom loved and valued her most.
In lieu of flowers and or gifts please make a donation to an animal charity of your choice to honor her memory.
