I am hoping to say this in person Wednesday, but in case I can’t bring myselft to say it outloud…My Aunt TT was a one of a kind woman who will be sorely missed by many and forever revered as a wonderful person who certainly gave more love than she received, which is remarkable because of how truly loved she was. Psalm 34:18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
It was a pleasure to have met her when I did and I always communicated with her through work related emails, she will be well missed I pray that her family is strenghthen by God and they may have Peace and Joy knowing that she is restling peacefully and is now rejoycing with our Father in heaven. Miss you Elsa Torres
Working with Taryn for the last 12 some years was a pleasure for all of us in AP. Taryn always putting a smile on my face. She was always so cheerful and happy even when the circumstances weren’t. She found the good in everything and everyone and that is what I will truly miss about her. I pray Taryns family stays strong and knows she is in a better place.
This picture brings back so many memories of this family. My heart goes out to all of you in this time of loss. Love you all.

Jan I am so sorry for your and your families loss. I hope you find some peace in knowing she is not in any pain and is in the presence of the Lord.
Jan and Rob, Mom said something about Terri’s passing in our weekly call yesterday and I just saw Linda Butcher’s posting today on FB. I am so sorry for your loss. It feels more like losing a sister than a friend. Thinking back on all of the times that our families shared together, we were all one big family. Please pass along my condolences and prayers to her family. I know that all of the Gunnell’s are going to bed with heavy hearts and feeling the loss of someone so special to all of us. We love you all. Brian and Angie (Headley) Gunnell

I would like to offer my condolences to the family of Taryn Powell. I have never met her in person, but have worked with her for the last 7 years during my time as a buyer for Anixter. She was always so pleasant and helpful to me, and I will deeply miss our conversations and laughs. I will keep you all in prayers and ask that God give you all guidance and strength during this time and all the hard and sad times to come. Tabatha Jacobs (Anixter Inc)
My depeest condolences to the family. Taryn and I became friends 16 years ago when I joined Anixter. She was my contact at the location and we just clicked from day one. She was the type of friend that could lift your spirit with just the sound of her laughter. She would always laugh at all my silly ideas and would find humor even in the worst of situations. She was loving, caring and an amazing human being. She was more than a friend to me, she was like a sister. I will miss her so much but I know she is in a better place now watching over us. Until we meet again, Love you T!

Working with Taryn was an honor. Her kindness and cheerfulness with every issue was refreshing. She will be missed by many in the Anixter family. She was amazing to work with and my prayers go to all in Taryn’s family.

My sincerest condolences to Taryn’s family and co-workers.

Always helpful, proficient, and professional. Such a wonderful person. Rest in Peace my friend…we will see you when we get to the other side of Heaven. God called home a wonderful Angel, who is now watching over all of those who loved her dearly. – Loretta Swartwood, Great Lakes Case & Cabinet Co. Edindboro, PA
My dear, sweet Taryn. Why did you have to go so soon? I always knew you were an angel so I guess you were needed elsewhere. When I would see your name on my caller ID, I figured I was in trouble. We hit it off from the beginning and worked well together with many a laugh. So many yeras…..so many good times. You had such a love of life and it showed in your demeanor. Because of that, there wasn’t anything I could ever refuse you. Some day we shall meet face to face and we will laugh together once again. May God be with you Taryn, as I know He is and watch over your precious family and give them strength. Brenda Bonney…..Retired from Anixter, Delray Beach Fl. in Feb

Oh how I miss hearing Taryn’s voice saying ‘Hey girl’ before we would dig into our daily issues. I can’t believe she is gone and she was taken too soon. She was such a wonderful person and there are not many people like her I know she is watching down from heaven on all of the people she cared about. May God be with the family at this difficult time. Rest in peace Taryn. I miss you every day.
Ernie and Family, In my career I get to meet a lot of incredible people who touch me greatly. I can honestly say that Taryn has been one of the most special people that I have ever taken care of. I was drawn to her sense of humor immediately and felt a special bond with her that will remain in my heart forever. It was a true honor to know and care for her and your family. May God bless you all and keep you wrapped tight in His ever loving arms during what I know is a very difficult time.
Taryn I’m so glad You were my sister-in-law. You were always good to me. I love you and I’ll miss you.
Taryn was like a big sister to me. We worked together for 7+ years. She had a great sense of humor, loved people, and she was a joy to be around. She loved her family tremendously. I loved her big heart and her feistiness. 🙂 I will miss her!
