Tammi was a kind and caring soul that did so many things for others. I remember her trips to help at the Mo State Fair with the FFA kids. The decorating of the convalescent center for everyone to enjoy and her touch at her parent’s grave.. When I would visit my dad’s grave at the cemetery I could tell when Tammi had added or did something new. You were loved by many.
Fly High Girl!

Tammi was just the absolute sweetest & she always had a smile on her face that helped brighten your day! Our lab in SJ may have been a lot smaller than other’s, but with us being smaller it made us all feel closer & made us feel more like family. Tammi always made sure she talked everyone while she worked. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her family & friends, many thoughts & prayers for you all…Fly High & Rest Easy Dear Friend…

I’ve known Tammy my whole life. We grew up right down the road from each other. We went to school k-12 together. Tammy always had a smile and was always helping others. Our world has lost a very Wonderful, caring,and loving person. But Heaven has gained another beautiful smiling Angel.
God Bless her family and loved ones as they process thru their lost.

I met Tammy where I work at GCC. We hit it off right away! She was a very special one! She took great care of her mom, and I always loved seeing what decorations she was going to put outside her mother’s window for the holidays. She has been, and will be greatly missed!!!
