Tava loved her family very much, but everyone who knew her could attest to the fact that her grandchildren were the light of her life. She will be greatly missed by her grandchildren and everyone who knew her.
A Celebration of Life will be held on July 24th, 2016 from 12:00pm-6:00pm at Hannah Park, 6547 Clark State Rd. Gahanna, OH 43230. Tava was a very warm and loving individual, so her Celebration of Life is requested to be very casual and "come as you are". More details of this celebration will be given to friends and family at a later time. In lieu of flowers, it was Tava's wishes to have all memorial contributions made to a charity of your choice.
