Tania Lynn Swarts, age 43, passed away tragically in her home in Muskegon, MI this past Labor Day. Tania was born to the late Darlene (Swarts) Lenz and father Richard Swarts.
Tania met the love of her life, Ryan Lee Dodge Sr. in 1993 and they had three beautiful children together. She was a stay-at-home mom and she adored her children with every fiber of her being. Her two daughters made her a young Grandmother, and she loved her grandchildren even more than she ever imagined. She couldn’t wait to meet her newest grandchild in March of next year.
Tania leaves to cherish her loving memory, her lifetime partner, Ryan Dodge, her three children Kali Dee, Samantha Jean and Ryan Lee Jr., as well as her three grandchildren, Levi Jacob, Lali Marie and Sophia Hope. She will also be greatly missed by her brothers Billy, Richard Jr. and Steven Swarts, her sister Tara Theodore and brother, Jonathon Merritt.
Her mother and father-in-law Ruth and Marino Manolis, sister-in-law Leah (Steven) McCoy and brothers-in-law Andy and Tony Manolis who accepted her into their lives 23 years ago and loved her as their own, will miss her very deeply.
Tania also had many Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews and extended family and friends she met throughout her life that will never forget her and will carry on her memory eternally.
