~ goodbye Chaos Faerie ~

Bert and Debra are heart broken to announce the sudden passing of our beloved daughter Tashanna Marie Ducharme on Feb 2 in Vancouver. She was born June 10, 1978 in Ft Nelson. She was a loving sister to Jared, Danielle and Dagan (Mercedes), and a fun-loving Aunty to Tabitha and Noah.

Tashanna is survived by a large loving family including maternal Grandparents, Jim and Elly Read of Vernon, 19 Aunts and Uncles, hundreds of cousins and many, many friends.

Tashanna was a talented artist with a kind and generous sprit. Her paintings and costumes brought life to many events. She was “mother earth” leading the save the rivers and painted all those stick salmon still seen regularly across Vancouver. Her many costumes and artistic creations will be treasured.

Tashanna led an adventurous life -Never a dull moment – She loved to travel and had seen many parts of the world. Born in a small town she had a big city heart. She was active in multiple causes and rallies in the lower mainland of B.C. specifically those relating to the environment, First Nations, and the social determinants of health. She was an advocate to her core.

We will be remembering Tashanna on Thursday February 12th, 2:00 p.m. at the Elks Hall in Salmon Arm. It will be a casual, colorful affair. Please come and remember Tashanna, and say good goodbye to our unique, wonderful and cherished CHAOS FAERIE.

In lieu of flowers you may wish to donate to: The Kettle Society of Vancouver, In memory of Tashanna Ducharme, Donation directed to the Art Fund, www.thekettle.ca

  1. Tashanna was my friend for many years. I think of her often. I wish I could have been there for her more, and knowing what I know now of her passing…I regret the fact we lost touch. I wish I could have been there to help somehow, some way.
    I hold a special place for her with me and I have a picture of her I look at every single day. She was an amazing, talented once in a lifetime person I had the pleasure of crossing paths with …she was a diamond among the rocks, truly.
    Much love to the Ducharme family I’m sorry for your loss, and pretty much the world’s loss on this bright star named Tashanna. I was blessed to know you, my girl. You will never be forgotten.

  2. I still miss her now and think of her often… I think she would be proud of me because knowing her, even for the short time I did, brought me out of my shell enough to go out and save some lives. She saw me as one of her special treasures that she held close to her ❤️ and she was so unique, so loving, so that I just had to be something very special too.
    LOVE YOU,
    Patricia
