She enjoyed spending time with her family, especially her Grandson who absolutely adored his “Maw Maw Tanny.” 
 
Tammy had many amazing qualities, but her hospitality was the most notable. She never met a stranger and was sure to always cook enough food for anyone who showed up. She opened her home and heart to everyone, even the countless animals she cared for over the years.
