A Celebration of Life Service was held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Jan. 29, 2022, at McKibben and Guinn Funeral Service in Grenada for Ms. Tandra Paige Eiland, 55, of Winona, who died on Saturday, Jan. 22, 2022, at her residence.
Tandra was born on Jan. 22, 1967, in Winona, the daughter of Ted McNeal and Charlotte Jeanette Bridges Eiland. She attended Bay City High School and earned a degree from Wharton County Junior College. She spent most of her working life as a bookkeeper and accounting clerk. While Tandra had no children of her own, she adored her nieces and nephews and enjoyed any time that she could spend with them.
An animal lover, Tandra was a devoted supporter of In Defense of Animals and loved caring for any dog that she encountered. She was always looking for a way to make others in her presence laugh. Her quick wit and sense of humor will be missed for many years to come by all who knew and loved her.
Her father preceded Tandra in death.
Survivors include, her mother, Jeanette Eiland of Winona; sisters, Tari Eiland Matura of Winona and Traci Eiland Daniel (Kenneth) of Whitewright, Texas; brother, Timothy “Bobo” Eiland (Sandy) of Winona and her beloved nieces and nephews, Cody Eiland (Carla Jo), Ashley Bright, Lauren Matura, Emily Stanley and John-Michael Stanley.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be directed to In Defense of Animals.
