Tanya Lee Lourigan

We are deeply sorry for your loss ~ Gunderson Funeral Home - Fitchburg

My heartfelt and sincere condolences to Joe and your family for your loss. My first opportunity to meet Tanya was working with her at the DNR Milwaukee office, and Tanya was someone who was easy to connect with. Tanya shared her passion of improving the lives of those around her and always found a way to brighten your day. Tanya is an amazing person, and I appreciated the time I was able to share with Tanya and Joe while I was living in Wisconsin. I hope Joe, family and friends are comforted by all the wonderful memories that were created and shared with Tanya. I know I will never forget the laughs I shared with Tanya, Sharon and Judy at the Milwaukee office.

I enjoyed working with Tanya at the DNR...and participating in those annual craft project gift exchanges with her. I still have Tanya's creations (I use the coaster she made daily). ❤️ I was so sorry to hear of her loss. My deepest condolences to her family and her Jojo. May you all receive peace and comfort. -Elaine Johnson

I worked with Tanya when we were on staff at the SYDA Foundation in upstate New York. We had not spoken for many years but I have not forgotten the brightness of her smile, the twinkle in her eye, her humor, intelligence, and kindness. We had many great hikes together. My condolences to all her loved ones who are surely missing her greatly. With love, Joan (Sridhari) Engle

I was lucky to have met sweet Tanya at the DNR and share laughs and great conversation with her during our carpool time. So many cat stories! :) She was so caring and thoughtful. She will be missed by many. My prayers go out to Joe, her family, and friends. May peace find your hearts. —Jessica Lawent
