Tammy had a love for animals, especially her dog Shadow.  She loved country music and attended several local concerts.  She loved any song by Shania Twain and Carrie Underwood.  Many of us were blessed with many bracelets that she made.  She was a kindhearted soul and a social butterfly that everyone in Edgar knew and loved.
