Tanya Ruth Belanger
January 23, 1960 - June 27, 2026
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tanya Belanger, who passed away peacefully on June 27, 2026, at the age of 66, surrounded by the love of her family and friends.
Tanya was the beloved wife of Richard Roberts for 43 amazing years. An exceptionally devoted mother to Shawn (Allison), Tyson (Brittany), Lindsay (Justin), Raelyn (Julian), a proud and devoted grandmother to Braedon, Cameron (Madi), Makayla, Noah, Avery, Mila, Shayla, Haylee and Kyla, a cherished daughter to Bea and Jack, adored sister to Carla and the late Jonathon (Kiyoko), sister-in-law to Brenda (Karen), Bonnie (Wayne) and Mark. Loving aunt to Lacey, Alyssa, Chantée, Isaac, Bryan (Niki), and a very special person to Cheryl, Dawnya and Steve, and many other friends and family members. Predeceased by her grandparents Ina Perry, Gordon Perry, Matilda Belanger, and Louis Belanger.
To know Tanya was to know unconditional love. She had the biggest heart and always put everyone else’s needs before her own. She always worried about those she loved and even extended her care to strangers in need that she had never met, not because she had to, but because caring for others was simply who she was. Her big heart full of kindness, compassion, and selfless nature touched everyone fortunate enough to know her or cross paths with her.
Her greatest joy in life was her family. She was the most amazing wife, mom, grandma and person who always offered a listening ear, comforting hugs, words of encouragement or advice, and endless love without judgement. She created the most loving home where everyone knew the door was always open, the home was always filled with warmth, laughter and memories that will be treasured forever. Her family was the most beautiful legacy she ever created and the heart of her life and she loved everyone with all she had.
Though our hearts are broken, we find comfort in our strong family she created, helping hold each other up during this difficult time. Her love will forever guide us every day, her memories will live in us forever, and her beautiful heart will never be forgotten.
A service will be held at Westview Funeral Home and Cremation Centre, 709 Wonderland Road North, London on Sunday, July 5, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. As we are all devastated about this, let’s come together to honour Tanya, remember her and celebrate her life.
In lieu of flowers or to those wishing to make a donation in memory of Tanya, you are asked to consider making a donation to the Verspeeten Family Cancer Centre at LHSC and/or Addiction Services of Thames Valley.

My heart is broken for Rae, Linds, Mikayla, Rick, and family. Sending you so much love & prayers during this difficult time. I hope you find comfort in knowing she’s always with you—in the little moments, memories, and everything she poured into your lives. She will always be close, watching over her family, which was always what mattered most to her. She truly was like a second mama to me. The sweetest lady with the kindest heart. Being in her home are some of my favourite memories. So grateful I got to know her and be loved by her. She left a lasting impact on everyone who was lucky enough to know her.

We are so very sorry to hear about Tanya's sudden passing. We were incredibly lucky to have found such a loving and thoughtful person for childcare, and our girls have very fond memories of their time at Miss Tanya's ( and of trick or treating at her house well after being out of daycare). Our deepest condolences to Rick and family- we will be think of you all during this difficult time. With love, Andrew, Katie, Claire and Allison McFalls
Sending so much love to Rae, Lindsay, and your entire family. Your mom was such a beautiful soul who gave her whole heart to those she loved. May you hold each other close and find strength in one another through this difficult time. She will always be deeply missed and forever remembered.
Dearest family, sending you my deepest condolences and all my love. I know you’ll miss her inconsolably and forever this was far too soon and far too young. Know that you’re strong and your family ties will help you along this journey of loss. I too will miss her unconditional love, her commitment to family and her chaos of kids that kept her home full of life. May Gods grace comfort you and may my hugs remind you how much you are all loved.
