Tannis Big Throat
Romans 8:17 ‘And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint- heirs with Christ; if so be, that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.’ Our beautiful TANNIS RAE (ELI) BIG THROAT passed away peacefully surrounded by her family at St. Michael’s Palliative Care on Wednesday, December 3, 2008 at the tender age of 23 years. She leaves to mourn her best friend, husband and soul mate Desmond Big Throat, daughters; Allyssa and Sherise Brave Rock and son Jayce Small Eyes; parents Faron Brave Rock and Gloria Eli; brother Jim Brave Rock, special parents Allan Eli and Marilee Eli; special sister and brother Ashla and A.J.

Also the families of Well’s, Brave Rock’s, Eli’s, Chief Moon’s from Stand Off and Wolf Tail’s from Brocket. Our precious Tannis was born August 10, 1985 in Cardston, Alberta and received her education at Stand Off, Glenwood and Kainai High Schools. Her highlights in life included when she attended Glenwood School, her basketball team defeating the Lady Warriors of Kainai High, when she met the love of her life Desi, when she made her sacred vows with him and attending church at New Life Fellowship with her husband and in-laws. Her interests were playing basketball, listening to music, shopping, spending time with her children and friends and going to the movies with Desi. Tannis was predeceased by her infant child Tannis Dezrae Big Throat, 2 brothers Levi and Dale Brave Rock, grandparents; Wilfred and Florence Brave Rock and Floyd and Mary Anne Eli. At this time Desmond and his family would like to express their sincere gratitude and appreciation to the nursing staff on 4C at the Chinook Regional Hospital, St. Michael’s Palliative Care, Dr. Dotie from the Haig Clinic, chaplain Pastor John Moerman, all the full gospel christians, mormon elders and the native spiritual elders that came to say prayers for our dear Tannis.

My dear deceased best friend, I think back to our days in Glenwood tearing up the basketball court and laughing about anything and everything. We were so young and innocent, so full of life. When I moved away in grade 7 I never imagined the sense of loss I felt without my best friend. Life took my far but I never forgot about you, always on my mind. I tried to look you up for years and could never find you thinking you just hadn't started a FB yet. I finally googled your name years back and felt one of the biggest sense of loss when I came upon your obituary. I'll always remember one of my best friends as a kind hearted woman and even though I didn't get to say goodbye I know I'll see you again when my time comes. Say hi to Naomie Jay for me, I know you and she are tearing it up in that great basketball court in the sky <3 Love you always!
