Tammy was a devoted wife, mother, grandma, daughter and sister.  She loved spending time with her two precious granddaughters.  She was handy at fixing anything.  She liked driving skid loaders, could do car repairs, loved her pets, enjoyed working outdoors, loved nature and she was a great cook.  She had a heart full of faith, joy, humor and love.  Tammy’s lasting legacy is her family.  She was always quick to give praise to children savoring in their accomplishments.  She cherished family time, enjoying her little granddaughters.  Family always came first.
