Her grandchildren, Kasi Phillips and her husband Jason of Laguna Niguel, California; Emily Biehl Erbach and her husband Nick of Santa Monica, California; Jack Biehl of Newport Beach, California; and Matt Goodwin of Poznan, Poland, knew the particular joy of being loved by her. Her great-granddaughter, Kenzee Kate Phillips of Laguna Niguel, California, was among her greatest treasures. Tanna is also survived by her sister Phyllis Bergant and her husband Mike of Charlestown, Indiana; her sister-in-law Judy Lirely of Murphysboro; and a warm and wide-reaching circle of family and friends who will feel her absence deeply. She was preceded in death by her beloved parents; her son Marcus Wilson Held; her brother Raymond Jay Wilson; her husband William Charles Robinson; and her son-in-law John Goodwin. She carried each of them with her always.
