Tami loved the thrill of a good game. She enjoyed going to the casino, playing bingo and hosting Bunco game nights in her home. She also loved the calming sense of putting together a difficult puzzle in her spare time.

Tami was a mother to all. Early in life, she enjoyed spending time with her children and took in all of their many friends and considered them as family.
