Tahnee Elizabeth Meckoll

Tahnee Elizabeth (Nunberg) Meckoll, age 54 of Wibaux, Montana passed away on Thursday, June 20, 2024 after a hard-fought (2nd) battle with cancer, surrounded by family. Visitation will be held from 6:00 PM until 8:00 PM with a Vigil Service beginning at 7:00 PM on Friday, June 28, 2024 at St. John's Catholic Church in Beach, North Dakota. Mass of Christian Burial will be at 10:30 AM on Saturday, June 29, 2024 at St. John's Catholic Church with Father Nicholas Vetter officiating. Rite of Committal will be in the Wibaux Cemetery in Wibaux. Silha Funeral Home of Beach has been entrusted with the arrangements. Tahnee was born on October 2, 1969, in Sidney, MT, to Joyce and Gary Nunberg. She lived in Sidney briefly and Wibaux, MT where she attended school until halfway through the 7th Grade, when in January 1982, she moved to Beach, ND. Tahnee graduated from Beach High School in 1987. Earlier that year, she was fortunate enough to be crowned Homecoming Royalty, along with her brother, Britt. After High School, Tahnee moved to Texas. It was there she enlisted in the Air Force Reserve through 1991. She was activated during Desert Storm but received a Medical Discharge later that year. Late in 1992, she moved to the Pacific Northwest, where she began a very successful career in Auto Finance and Sales. Tahnee would continue to work in the industry in the Seattle and Portland areas until she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017. She beat cancer for the 1st time but was diagnosed again in early 2021. That year Tahnee moved “home” to the Beach/Wibaux area for support from family and medical care. Tahnee fought cancer with a ferocity and a smile, that most couldn’t comprehend, even through her final days. Her energy towards friendship and community could only be rivaled by her commitment to her family. No matter how long she might be away from you or unable to communicate if you were considered a brother, sister, cousin, or friend, you better expect a Facebook message when she’s in your town, asking to catch up with you. If you didn’t know much about Tahnee’s personal life, a quick minute would result in you understanding her pride in her children’s accomplishments, or that she could dominate you in a Tennis match, no matter her pregnancy status. She might tell you about her ski life including shredding black diamonds on Mt Hood, maybe her record-setting track times from high school, or even the time she broke her collar bone Windsurfing off the coast of Aruba. But after the story of her journeys, you could always expect a laugh and smile at the end, a valuable skill that everybody should learn. Tahnee is preceded in death by her mother, Joyce (1948-2002), and her brother, Ryan (1971-2022). She is survived by her three loving kids, Zach of Seattle, WA, Taylor of Park City, UT, and Max of Eugene, OR; father, Gary of Wibaux; brothers, Britt of Wibaux and Nate (Toni) of Billings, MT and her sister, Kylie (Michael) Mahoney of Billings. Tahnee’s family would like to send a huge thanks to her Aunt Bunny (Richard) Nunberg for the compassionate care and transportation to and from medical appointments, the Wibaux Ambulance Crew, and the Glendive Medical Center. We’d also like to thank the entire Beach and Wibaux communities for the amazing support provided to Tahnee and her family throughout the years. In lieu of flowers, a memorial has been set up with First State Bank of Golva, in Beach. Remembrances and condolences may be shared with the family at: www.silhafuneralhomes.com. REMEMBER ME To the living, I am gone. To the sorrowful, I will never return. To the angry, I was cheated, But to the happy, I am at peace, And to the faithful, I have never left. I cannot be seen, but I can be heard. So, as you stand upon a shore, gazing at a beautiful sea - remember me. As you look in awe at a mighty forest and its grand majesty - remember me. As you look upon a flower and admire its simplicity - remember me. Remember me in your heart, your thoughts, your memories of the times we loved, the times we cried, the times we fought, the times we laughed. For if you always think of me, I will never be gone. ~Margaret Mead
