Tami had a variety of jobs over the years, but she loved her most

about her many fun co-workers. She had an amazing, outgoing personality and she always brought joy and smiles everywhere she went.

Tami, “Bumma,” was known for her unwavering dedication to her family, especially her grandkids. She gave them all the care, attention, hugs and smiles one could ask for. She was always their biggest fan, clapping so loudly that it didn’t matter who wasn’t.

Tami loved family time and having barbecues, going to the beach, watching movies and listening to Motown. She had a love for coffee, cats, the color purple and singing along to her Temptations songs. She loved celebrating holidays and bringing grandkids buckets of candy and toys and was always ready to throw a party. Outside of her work and family, she enjoyed doing puzzles, and loved her cat, Ry Ry.
