Tammy also leaves behind devoted aunts and uncles whose love and guidance were a great source of comfort and profoundly appreciated. As well as nieces, nephews, and cousins who shared cherished memories and will miss her deeply.
Tammy’s family meant the world to her. She found joy in life’s simple moments, whether it was spending time with her loved ones, watching her favorite reality shows, or sharing a laugh over sweet iced tea. She spent her final days surrounded by love and comfort, especially in the care of her devoted aunt, Kaye Wetzel, whose presence brought her peace and companionship.
