Lehr, Tanya Maria (Kalmanov) Tanya died April 21, 2020 of the COVID-19 virus, one day after her 76th birthday. She was born in Leningrad, USSR, just after the end of the 900-day siege of the city in WWII. Both parents (Anatole and Maria Zakharov) were engineers which Tanya eventually followed as a career. She married Alex Kalmanov, and both established successful careers. In 1979 together with 11-year old daughter, Maria ("Masha"), the family immigrated to the US. Immediate employment and language were significant challenges. The marriage ended in a divorce in 1986. In time Tanya became a procurement engineer for Honeywell in Minneapolis. In 1991 she married Gary Lehr and they took up residence in Minnetonka. She was preceded in death by her parents and daughter, Maria. She is survived by her husband; grandson, Nikita and his father Greg Volynskiy; step children, Karna (Brent) Rice, Kristine Rees; step grandchildren, Emily and Ashley Haan, and Elle Kate Rees; and dear friend and guardian, Rita Brooks. She will be dearly missed by many friends and family. She will be remembered for her quick wit, wisdom, and her love of life and family. A memorial service will be held in Tanya's honor at a later date.
