Loved dearly by her family; passed away June 13th 2023 in Centerville Ohio due to complications of cancer.
Tiffany was born in Valdez, Alaska to Dwayne Scott Smith and Tonia Jane Smith on April 29th 1991. She became a big sister at age 3 and took this job very seriously. She had a lifelong love of animals and nature and enjoyed both whenever possible. She also loved playing video games like Pokémon, Harvest Moon, Persona, and Final Fantasy. Tiffany had a fantastic sense of humor, and always kept us laughing with her weird jokes and funny, dorky songs she sang to us from YouTube, or otherwise! As she became an adult, she got her degree in medical terminology and transcription. Wanting to get a job she could work at home was her dream. She worked many positions in her early 20’s, Sales, AR, AP, HR and reception. Her medical issues became worse, and she came to a point she could not work but she still edited others’ stories online and helped her family any day she was not having flare ups. At 28 she met Paul Warren in a Discord chat room, and they became great friends. By the time she was 30 their relationship had blossomed, and she visited him in Ohio, then moved there. They had over 1.5yrs of a wonderful relationship and had exchanged promise rings. It was in February 2023, while working with her medical team to get her medical issues managed, that they found she had cancer. She fought hard, but her body could not handle this fight and she sadly lost the battle. She was preceded in death by her Grandfather Smitty. (William A Smith)In addition to her mom and dad - Tonia Jane and Dwayne Scott Smith, she is survived by her younger brother Jeren Paul Smith, Grandmother Judith DeAnn Smith, Grandmother Beryl Ellen Smith (Jymi), Grandfather William F Smith, Uncle Troy Smith, Aunt Tara Smith, Aunt Charity Weaver, Uncle Don Smith, Uncle James Smith, Aunt Tammy Berg, Aunt Mindy Beem, Uncle Billy Smith, Aunt Allison Smith, cousins Jessica Segelhorst, cousin Randy Segelhorst, cousins Kayla, Cassie, Skyler, Keith and so many more.
