Tanya Corynn Holmes was born on November 22, 1974, to Randall and Ramona Erickson in Boise, Idaho, and passed away on Monday, February 16, 2026, at the age of 51, in Bossier City, Louisiana.

Tanya Holmes was a devoted wife to her husband of 28 years, Chris Holmes, and a loving mother to their two children. She worked as a sales consultant for Scentsy and Tupperware, but her greatest pride came from being a dedicated military spouse and homemaker. Tanya poured her heart into supporting her family through every move, every challenge, and every season of life. She also gave generously of her time, volunteering in various children’s programs at her local church, where her kindness, patience, and steady presence touched countless young lives.

Tanya found joy in life’s simple moments, especially riding as a passenger on the back of Chris’s motorcycle with no destination in mind — just the open road and the freedom of being together. She preferred small gatherings and a close circle of friends, but she greeted everyone she met with a bright smile and a warm hug. Those who knew her will remember her gentle spirit, her loyalty, and the way she made people feel welcomed and loved.

Tanya was preceded in death by her grandparents. Left to cherish her memory are her parents, Randall and Ramona Erickson; her loving husband, Chris Holmes; daughter, Lindsay Holmes-Delo and husband, Derek; son, Aaron Jacob A.J. Holmes; sisters, Jenny and Angela; adopted older brother, Chris Erickson; and adopted older sister, Shaelagh.
