Tawnya Donnell  (McCracken) Wood, 55, of Mustang,  left this world after her long battle with cancer ended on Friday, Aug. 22, 2014.  She was born Sept. 12, 1958, in Cordell to Bill and Nell McCracken. Known as “Tawny” to those who loved her, she loved living her life by sharing her genuine gift of laughter, her streak of mischievousness, her fondness for adventure and most of all, her love for her family.

She left behind her two greatest loves of her life, Kaylee Elizabeth Wood, her daughter, and Kyle Blake Wood, her son, both of Mustang. She leaves also her parents, Bill and Nell McCracken of Mustang; her brother and his family, Rick, Brenda and Jerod McCracken of McAlester; her sister and her family, Jill, Ron and Ethan Heck of Bridgecreek; and her nephew and his family, Jesse, Amy, Addison, Sierra and Kaitlyn McCracken of Cashion. Tawny  was a part of a very large extended family that includes aunts, cousins and many, many  friends.  She has gone to heaven to be with loved ones who have preceded her in death, and to help prepare a place for each one of us there.

Our family wishes to say thank you to all of those who have kept her in your prayers during her long battle and we ask for you to continue to send prayers to our Father above and to ask Him to give our love to Tawny, we’ll be OK for now and let her know she’s always on our minds.  She loved you all…

A memorial service was held on Wednesday, Aug. 27, 2014, at Lakehoma Church of Christ in Mustang, under direction of McNeil’s Funeral Service.
