Due to ongoing construction at the Chattahoochee Nature Center, the family has decided to postpone the Celebration of Life until the Spring. This will give those in attendance an opportunity to enjoy all that the Center has to offer, including the aviaries and the many gardens which will be in bloom.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Tanya’s honor to the Chattahoochee Nature Center.
The Brannon family and staff are honored to serve the family of Tanya Dawn Blalock.
