Tiffany Morgan Minyard

Tiffany Morgan Minyard (Wilson) 36 was born in Visalia, CA and after a long and hard fought battle with cancer was called home to the Lord June 15 in Visalia, CA. She lived in Tulare, CA where she made a home with her husband Bryn and Daughter Madisyn. While growing up she attended Kohn elementary school, and then attended middle school in Oregon, and Graduated from Howell High School in Howell Michigan. While in school she was part of the yearbook committee, and also part of the group of girls who started the first girl’s rugby team at the school. She then returned to the valley and attended COS where she studied architecture. She would also work at the Wasco State Prison in the administration office. She found her calling as a speech aide therapist with Tulare City Schools, where she loved working with the kids. She loved spending all the time she could with her family and Especially Madisyn. She loved trips to the beach where she and Madi would spend most of their time during summer breaks and any time they could go over. She also loved going to Disneyland and would also plan as many trips there as she could with Madisyn and later with her husband Bryn. But she loved just to travel in general anywhere and anytime she could. But her favorite things to do at home were to play board games, do puzzles, and a lot of crafting. She was really known for the crafts she made whether that be making wreaths, or all the different Mickey ears she made. (All trips to Disneyland had new homemade ears.) She also loved being able to gather and be with her family as much as she could and loved family gatherings on the holidays. She was also very good at planning, decorating, and putting on parties to the point that she had joked and been told she could’ve been a party planner. She is survived by her husband Bryn Minyard and daughter Madisyn Wilson; Her parents Rick and Leslie Wilson, Debbie Fermanit (DJ) and Tim Warkentin; Her grandparents Gene and Jerrie Wilson, and Willie and Jackie Warkentin; Her sister, Julie McCormick Elms (Marc Egge), and her brothers, Chad Wilson (Crystal Shaw); Joshua Wilson; and Jared Warkentin (Jennifer Turlin); and her Niece’s Emma Shaw, Anabel Shaw, and Haisley Wilson.
