Tammy will be remembered by many nieces, nephews and cousins.
Tammy was an extremely never-ending hard worker. She lived on the hearts of the people she cared for, whether that be her family or her residents.

I am so sorry to hear of Tammys passing. It was hard thinking of her in the past weeks knowing that she was in pain. My parents, Clarence and Lois Wurm loved her and the special care that they received from her at the Exeter Villa. From the artwork on pill cups to the fresh cut flowers that she would bring to them from her garden. Mom loved her special hugs and dad enjoyed her good natured teasing and the friendly competition that they had in solving the word puzzles that Bobbi posted. When mom and dad would come to my place for supper, I would pack leftover cake for them to take back home, knowing that Tammy would get a piece and she would take it home to share with her mother. Tammy was a kind and generous soul that will be greatly missed by those that knew her.
