In 1992, Tammy met her soulmate, Sam Pete. They married on November 8, 2004. Together, the two enjoyed a life of love and friendship. Tammy had a beautiful spirit within. Her love, passion and empathy for people was unmatched. She had a deep spirituality that bound her to respect, appreciate and care for all of creation. Her numerous pets and birdhouse feeding stations demonstrated this. Her eye for decorating was exquisite and their home was always warm and inviting for everyone. She loved creating, whether it was with paint, fabric or stained glass and enjoyed giving these projects to those she loved. She loved nature and most importantly spending time with her family.
