Tawny Leigh Cramer (nee Wade), beloved mother, daughter, sister and wife, died on January 17, 2021 at the age of 33. She was born in Ogden, Utah on July 31, 1987 to Mitchel and Leslie Wade. 

Tawny graduated Box Elder High in 2005 and moved frequently until finding a family in The Dalles, Oregon. She married Ryan Cramer on February 15, 2015. Their son West Leroy Cramer was born later that year on May 28, 2015. 

She wielded a headstrong personality and a ruthless sense of humor, but was adored by many people in as many zip codes. Her upbringing in the outdoors translated throughout her life, and she was a frequent hunting companion to her father, and to her husband and son.

Her home in The Dalles, Oregon, was the joy of her life, and she was happiest caring for her husband Ryan and her son West. She built her life around deep convictions of marriage and family, and held the people in her life to high and honorable standards. Her son West is her continuing gift to those who mourn her. Born dangerously premature, he grew under his parents’ care to be as willful and lively as his mother. 

The beauty of Tawny’s soul will be remembered forever by those who knew her best and loved her most. She was hilarious, candid, and compassionate. We bid a heartbroken farewell to a special woman, and wish her everlasting peace. 

Tawny Cramer is survived by her husband Ryan, her son West, her parents Mitchel and Leslie Wade (nee Coss), her brother Ross (Gabrielle) Wade, and niece Lydia Wade, in addition to the many friends and family who love and will remember her.

           A memorial service will be held on Saturday, January 23, 2021 at Myers Mortuary at 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm located at 205 South 100 East in Brigham City, UT. Masks and social distancing protocols are required for all in attendance.
