I met Courtenay through out affiliation with Richardson Rotary, however she became my MS warrior. When I was diagnosed with MS in 2011, I was confused, overwhelmed, scared and knew nobody else with MS. Courtenay stepped up, shared her story and became strongest advocate. Later on, I started riding BikeMS in different parts of country, Courtenay was always my main supporter. She loved hearing about rides BikeMS and I always admired her zest for life and journeys. My heart is with her always.

My heart is broken for all. I was a part of this precious family for 20 (legally) but she loved me up to the day she left this world. The most precious memory I have is when she told me she collect cookie jars and wanted me to to join her in doing this as "sisters". I was able to give her her last cookie jar when her and Richard were visiting August 14th, and she loved her llama cookie jar, what a great memory to treasure! She always gave me big sister advice even when I didn't want to hear it, she always shared her wisdom. I will miss her laughter most of all. I love you Sister!

Courtenay saved my life.

Without asking my permission, she called an ambulance when I might have tried to ignore my symptoms and kept to my plan of flying off the next day.

She and Cousin Dick stayed with me in the ER until 4:00 AM, when I was admitted to BS&W and received a heart transplant days later.

God used her to work a plan much better than my own. Thanks again for that, Courtenay, and for all the wonderful feast tables you presided over as hostess.

I know you're in heaven.

I first met Courtenay Tanner when I joined the RIchardson Rotary Club where we eventually shared the honor of being past presidents . She was a presence in the Club, one who will be difficult to replace. Always ready to help, always ready with good advice, always a friend when you needed one - that was the Courtenay that I came to know and will miss dearly.

Courtenay was a very positive role model in my life because of her work ethic example, unselfish giving of herself to multiple organizations and causes, her leadership when she was asked to take on a project, and her unforgetable smile and laugh.

She will be missed greatly by all who had the opportunity to serve with her. She was an an amazing wife, mother, daughter, and friend.

God bless the Tanner family.

I’m so sorry to read to sad news. I came to Texas on a rotary trip in 2006 and Courtney couldn’t have been more welcoming along with Richard. Courtney regularly kept in touch and we often commented back and forth via Facebook where I caught news of her funeral service. She was so very proud of her whole family and genuinely made our GCDC team feel part of her family whilst we were there.
