Tammy was known for her love of nature, often found planting and tending to her garden, or enjoying the beauty of the outdoors. She had a passion for cleaning, cooking, canning, and taking care of others, always putting the needs of her family and friends first. Tammy’s love for music, Sunday talks with her granddaughter, and time spent with family brought her great joy. She was a devoted caretaker, always seeking ways to comfort and support those around her.

An interesting piece of her life included her role as an extra in the iconic S.E. Hinton movie “The Outsiders”, a memory she fondly shared with her loved ones.
