Tatiana Craparotta, 44

It is with deep sorrow and great sadness that we announce the passing of Tatiana Craparotta. The Lord called her home, and she passed Dec. 27, 2024. Tatiana was 44 years old and passed on unexpectedly at Kootenai Hospital after battling sudden and severe Flu-related complications.

Tatiana leaves behind her husband, Lewis, and three beautiful daughters. She is survived by her mother, her sister and brother-in-law, her three brothers and much-extended family and friends. Tatiana's life will be honored, and her dreams pursued with the faith of her family and friends that we will all be reunited someday in everlasting life alongside our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. 

Tatiana lived a wonderful life, her love and passion for living ever guiding her through the richest of all the beauty and splendor life affords us. All who knew her will attest Tatiana lived fiercely and loved fully. The person she became on her journey through 44 years of living would have led you to believe she lived many lifetimes over. She grew to wisdom and beauty far beyond her years. May the world continue to benefit from the gift God gave us by blessing our lives with you.   

Tatiana was born in Hermosillo and raised in the southwestern United States, where she lived in California and Arizona. She also frequently traveled to Mexico, where she loved to stay on her family’s ranch and visit with loved ones. Tatiana eventually found her way home to Coeur d'Alene and loved the community and all its beauty.

Tatiana attended elementary and high school in San Clemente and Dana Point, Calif. She was an incredible athlete and excelled in sports and physical endeavors. Fitness and volleyball grew to become lifelong passions. Tatiana went on to pursue careers in culinary, physical therapy, and customer service business professions when motherhood became her greatest occupation. Becoming a mother for the first time at 28 years old, her life changed forever. 

Tatiana spent the better part of 15 years raising three incredible daughters. She embraced motherhood with the same love and passion she lived with. Tatiana built and helped run multiple businesses while gracefully maintaining a balance between work and play. Tatiana always made sure her daughters and her family came first and was ever present to support the people she loved. Her legacy lives on in her children, as her daughters have the same love and passion for living as she did.  

Tatiana loved and enjoyed many things during her life. She loved art and spending time outdoors in the mountains, lakes and oceans. She enjoyed taking in the views of breathtaking scenery. She had a passion for gardening and cooking and enjoyed wine by the bottle. She loved to travel, enjoyed learning and loved adventure. Her passion for living was vibrant in every aspect of her life. May we carry you with us as we continue our journey until we meet again. 

Tatiana's family and friends and friends miss her beyond words. Our sudden and unexpected loss has left a void in our lives that cannot be filled. The splendor Tatiana brought to the world and the lives of others was a blessing that made the world a better place. Our lives are better for having had you in them. We are better people for having known you. 

Until we meet again, may you enjoy the views of heaven and remain with us in spirit. May our lives and the way we choose to live them forever honor you and the beauty of your soul. 

With all our love, always and forever. 

Tatiana's close family and friends will gather for a service to honor her life and how wonderful she was at 11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025, at St. Pius X Catholic Church (625 E. Haycraft Ave. Coeur d’Alene, ID 83815). Memorial video viewing will begin at 10:45.
