Tammy was affectionately known as “Tamcat.”Tammy was a firecracker who always lit up a room and was never afraid to speak her mind. She had a soulful singing voice, a powerful arm for softball, and the ability to bring beauty into any space. Tammy had an enormous heart and shared her love with animals, especially horses, and people alike. Tammy found her greatest joy spending time in fellowship with friends and family, including chili dinners on the hill and Christmas at the boat club. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.
