Tanya was in Vancouver, but moved to Lytton shortly after. Her mother's family is from the Skatin First Nation in the Pemberton area. Tanya grew up in Agassiz and Chilliwack, and
moved to East Vancouver with her mother and aunt in her teens and went to high school there.

Tanya's family suffered a lot of tragedy - two uncles committed suicide in their late teens, and her aunt Belinda Williams went missing on Vancouver's Downtown Eastside in 1978 and has never been found.

At age 20 Tanya and her common-law partner had a son. They later separated, sharing custody. Tanya was supposed to celebrate her aunt's birthday with her on October 27, 1996, but never showed up.

Her clothing and DNA were found at the Pickton farm. Robert Pickton was charged with her murder, but the charges were stayed.
