Tanya Michelle McHale Lindberg's Obituary
Tanya Michelle Lindberg, 46, of Tavares, FL, went to be with the Lord on April 2, 2025. Tanya was born on June 13, 1978 in Miami, FL, to her parents; Edward "Buddy" and Marsha (Roberts) McHale.
Tanya was of the Christian faith and an incredibly talented musician. She taught herself by ear how to play piano and sing beautifully.
Tanya enjoyed spending time at the beach, she also loved tattoos and nicknamed her appointments her "ink therapy".
Tanya leaves a lasting impression with many who knew her, it is written best by a dear friend:
"There are no words that can truly express the weight of losing someone—especially a sister and friend who showed us just how deeply relationships matter in this life.
She taught us the beauty of perseverance, the strength found in overcoming trials, and the power of staying rooted in faith—even through life’s greatest challenges.
She was the humble soul whose gentle voice brought peace—a quiet anchor of reason and grace. The grounded balance to the eternal dreamer, she reminded us that reason and presence are often the deepest forms of love.
She was a poet longing to be heard, her heart woven into songs that were always meant to be read, sung, and remembered.
She was a sister who never lost hope, a steady presence who reassured the doubter: things will be okay.
She was the friend who never left, never forsook—always stayed.
My faith rests in this, dear Tanya: that you are now in paradise—present with the Lord you believed in, sang to, and walked with so courageously.
You deserve the kind of joy this world could never fully offer—joy beyond words, the kind we only dream about.
May your spirit whisper comfort to those you loved, from that place of perfect peace—now forever present with the Lover of our souls.
Rest in peace, Tanya.
We will carry your legacy—of encouragement, faithfulness, serenity, and truth—always and forever."
